About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer with deep Python expertise to join our engineering team. In this role, you will architect and develop robust backend systems and services that power our core products. You will lead the design of scalable microservices architectures, implement RESTful APIs, and work across the full development lifecycle from design to deployment. With a strong focus on backend development and complementary knowledge of DevOps practices, you will ensure our systems are reliable, performant, and maintainable. This position is perfect for someone who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and building production‑grade software at scale.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and microservices using Python.
• Architect and implement RESTful APIs and ensure proper API design, documentation, and versioning.
• Build and optimize database schemas, queries, and data models for both SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Develop and deploy containerized applications using Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes.
• Implement DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and monitoring solutions.
• Collaborate with frontend engineers to integrate backend services with user‑facing applications.
• Optimize application performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement caching strategies.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code with comprehensive unit and integration tests.
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and architectural decision‑making.
• Conduct knowledge‑sharing sessions and promote best practices in software development and system design.

Essential Skills

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong focus on backend development.
• Proficiency in Python and its ecosystem (FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks).
• Strong experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architectures.
• Solid understanding of database technologies, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
• Hands‑on experience with containerization (Docker) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Proficiency with DevOps tools and practices (CI/CD pipelines, Git, automated testing, monitoring).
• Experience with message queues and event‑driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar).
• Strong understanding of software design patterns, SOLID principles, and clean architecture.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and cloud‑native development.
• Experience with API authentication and authorization (OAuth2, JWT, etc.).

Beneficial Skills

• Frontend development experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React or Vue).
• Experience with Infrastructure‑as‑Code tools (Terraform, Ansible).
• Familiarity with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or similar).
• Knowledge of gRPC, GraphQL, or other API technologies.
• Experience with distributed tracing and performance profiling.
• Understanding of security best practices and secure coding principles.
• Experience with real‑time communication protocols (WebSockets, Server‑Sent Events).
• Familiarity with machine learning model deployment and MLOps practices.

What we offer

• A dynamic, highly qualified and diverse team in which your contributions are reflected directly in our products and used by our international customer base.
• Flat hierarchies and short decision‑making processes.
• Exciting and varying tasks for our product portfolio.
• Excellent working environment, modern office space, and flexible working hours with the option of mobile working.
