The Role
We are looking for a seasoned, high-impact Senior Backend Developer to join our team as a core technical driver. This isn't just a role for someone who can write code; it’s for a true architect and builder who thrives on the "0-to-1" journey. You will be instrumental in designing the backbone of a new product, turning ambitious visions into scalable, production-ready reality.
As a senior member of the team, you will navigate ambiguity with ease, owning the backend lifecycle from data modeling to cloud deployment. You’ll be a key technical voice, collaborating directly with product stakeholders to ensure our infrastructure is as robust as our ambitions.
What You'll Do
-
Build the Foundation: Architect and write high-quality, maintainable backend code primarily in Python, ensuring our systems are built for scale from day one.
-
Design & Deliver APIs: Own the design and implementation of RESTful APIs, focusing on elegant data modeling and secure authentication.
-
Architect for the Future: Leverage serverless and event-driven architectures to build responsive, modern systems.
-
Own the Infrastructure: Work hands-on with Terraform/CloudFormation to treat infrastructure as code, ensuring seamless deployments across cloud platforms.
-
Champion DevOps Culture: Manage containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines to ensure a smooth, automated path to production.
-
Solve Complex Problems: Act as a proactive troubleshooter, identifying bottlenecks and optimizing system performance across SQL and NoSQL databases.
What You Bring (Must-Haves)
-
Seasoned Expertise: 5+ years of professional backend focus, with a deep mastery of the Python ecosystem (Django, Flask, or FastAPI).
