Job Title: Python Developer - Django (Full Time)

Location: Gurgaon, Onsite

Interview: Virtual Interview

Experience Required: 3+ Years

About the Role

We are looking for a skilled Python Developer with hands-on experience in building scalable backend systems. The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in Python, Django, distributed task queues using Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ, and experience working with event streaming platforms like Kafka.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Python and Django.
• Implement and optimize task queues using Celery with Redis/RabbitMQ as brokers.
• Develop and integrate event-driven systems using Apache Kafka.
• Write clean, reusable, and efficient code following best practices.
• Build RESTful APIs and integrate with external services.
• Ensure performance, scalability, and security of applications.
• Collaborate with frontend developers, DevOps, and product teams to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues in production and staging environments.

Required Skills & Experience

• 2+ years of professional experience in Python backend development.
• Strong knowledge of Django Framework.
• Hands-on experience with Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Kafka.
• Good understanding of REST API design principles.
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL).
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and Agile development.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

About Us:

We are hiring for a pre seed funded startup called Zeromoblt (https://zeromoblt.com/), a high-agency Hyderabad-based startup revolutionizing student transportation with lean, intelligent tech stacks.

Our mission: architect world-class systems from scratch—fast, scalable, and algorithmically sharp—using Kotlin, React, AWS (EC2, IoT, IAM), Google Maps, and multi-cloud setups. Stealth mode operations mean you're building 0→1 products with founders, not fixing tickets.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end ownership of complex systems: design, build, deploy, monitor, and iterate at scale.
• Architect high-performance backends in Kotlin (or JVM langs) that handle real-time routing and IoT data.
• Craft scalable React UIs that power ops dashboards and parent-facing apps.
• Drive cloud decisions across AWS, Azure/GCP—optimising costs for our bootstrap runway.
• Apply DSA/system design to solve hard problems like dynamic route optimization and predictive scaling.
• Shape the engineering roadmap: propose, prioritise, and ship features with founders.
• Mentor juniors while executing solo on high-impact bets—no layers, just results.

We're Looking For

• 3-6 years of hands-on engineering where you've owned and shipped production systems (prove it with code/stories).
• Elite CS fundamentals: advanced DSA, system design (distributed systems a must), design patterns.
• Mastery of Kotlin/Java + modern React; real AWS experience (EC2, IAM, CLI—you know our stack).
• Proven "leap-taker": startup grit, side projects, or open-source that screams hunger.
• Figure-it-out velocity: you thrive in chaos, learn our domain overnight, and deliver 10x faster than peers.

This Role Is Not For You If…

• You need structured roadmaps, PM hand-holding, or big-tech process.
• Comfort > impact: stable salary over equity upside and chaos.
• You've never worn all hats (dev, ops, product) in a resource-constrained environment.

Why Join Us

• Massive ownership: lead tech for 10k+ students, direct founder access, shape ZeroMoblt's scale.
• Flat, high-trust team: flexible Hyderabad/remote, no bureaucracy.
• Hungry culture: we hire hustlers scaling from 700 to 10k students your wins are visible daily.
• Hungry to Leap? Apply now!
