Senior Backend Engineer - Core systems
at Tech startup based in Bangalore
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong background in building distributed, scalable, and high-performance backend systems. The ideal candidate has 6+ years of backend engineering experience, including 3+ years in microservices or distributed architecture, and deep expertise in Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, and async I/O patterns.
The candidate will own backend services end-to-end — from architecture and design to implementation, optimization, and production support — while working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver mission-critical systems.
Key Responsibilities
1. Backend Architecture & Development
- Architect, design, and implement backend services using Python (preferably FastAPI) with clean, maintainable, and scalable code.
- Develop microservice components, service communication layers, and distributed workflows.
- Build APIs and backend modules optimized for performance, fault tolerance, and low latency.
2. Distributed Systems & Scalability
- Design and maintain distributed systems capable of handling high throughput and large-scale operations.
- Implement inter-service communication patterns (REST, event-driven, message queues, pub/sub).
- Ensure system resiliency through redundancy, graceful degradation, and autoscaling strategies.
3. Asynchronous & Event-Driven Architecture
- Build async workflows, background tasks, and pipeline services leveraging asyncio or async frameworks.
- Develop event-driven components including producers, consumers, and event processors.
- Optimize I/O-heavy operations to maximize concurrency and throughput.
4. Data Storage, Pipelines & Caching
- Design relational schemas, write optimized SQL queries, and work with PostgreSQL performance tuning (indexes, partitions, query planning).
- Implement caching strategies, rate limiting, distributed locks, and session storage using Redis.
- Build data validation pipelines and compliance-driven data flows ensuring data correctness and auditability.
5. Security, Reliability & Observability
- Implement authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure API practices.
- Build monitoring, alerting, metrics, and tracing systems using modern observability tools.
- Diagnose production issues, identify bottlenecks, and drive long-term fixes and improvements.
6. Code Quality & Technical Leadership
- Conduct detailed code reviews and ensure engineering best practices across the team.
- Participate in technical roadmap planning, architectural discussions, and system design decisions.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; drive a culture of technical excellence and ownership.
Required Qualifications
- 6+ years backend engineering experience.
- 3+ years building microservices or distributed systems.
- Strong expertise in Python and frameworks like FastAPI (or Flask/Django with async exposure).
- Deep understanding of async I/O, concurrency models, and asynchronous programming in Python.
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, advanced queries, optimization).
- Hands-on experience with Redis for caching, queues, session management, and distributed patterns.
- Experience with event-driven architectures, message processing, or streaming systems.
- Solid understanding of system design, scalability principles, and API lifecycle management.
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and cloud environments.
