Senior Python Backend Developer

We are hiring an experienced Senior Python Backend Engineer to join an enterprise digital transformation program focused on building scalable and secure distributed systems. The candidate will design high-availability backend services using Django, Django REST Framework, and FastAPI with deep knowledge of microservices architecture and asynchronous event-driven patterns. Responsibilities include building secure REST and GraphQL APIs, optimizing data pipelines, and integrating services with AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, API Gateway, RDS, EKS) and OAuth2/JWT-based identity providers.

The ideal engineer must possess strong expertise in PostgreSQL query optimization, Redis caching, containerization using Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD automations with GitHub Actions and Terraform/IaC. Experience in secure coding practices aligned with SOC2/GDPR/OWASP compliance is mandatory. Hands-on exposure to logging/monitoring systems like ELK, Prometheus, and distributed tracing is required.

You will collaborate with product stakeholders and cross-functional teams to deliver mission-critical enterprise systems with advanced queueing systems (Celery/RabbitMQ), multi-region failover, and real-time data processing. Prior experience with domain-driven design (DDD), API versioning, feature toggles, blue-green deployment strategies, and multitenant SaaS frameworks is highly preferred.
