In this role, you will leverage modern Python frameworks, asynchronous programming, and cloud-native technologies to deliver efficient, high-performance solutions. You will also integrate AI-assisted development tools into your daily workflow to accelerate coding, testing, and problem-solving. Working with technologies such as FastAPI, Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes, you will help strengthen system reliability and maintainability. This fully remote opportunity offers a collaborative, technology-driven environment where engineering excellence, automation, and continuous improvement are central to delivering impactful digital solutions.

Accountabilities

• Develop, maintain, and optimize backend and frontend services using Python, ensuring high performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Design, build, and maintain REST APIs for payment processing and third-party service integrations.
• Integrate external payment service providers (PSPs), including pay-in and pay-out functionality, payment status callbacks, and transaction lifecycle management.
• Ensure secure, reliable, and efficient processing of payment transactions and sensitive information, following appropriate security and data protection practices.
• Incorporate AI-assisted development tools, such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, into daily workflows to improve productivity, code quality, and development efficiency.
• Deploy, operate, and maintain services in Kubernetes environments, supporting reliable application delivery and ongoing operations.
• Monitor application performance, troubleshoot technical issues, identify bottlenecks, and implement improvements to system stability and reliability.
• Write clean, reusable, maintainable code and develop automated tests to ensure software quality and reduce regression risks.
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and release processes to maintain engineering standards and promote knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external payment providers to troubleshoot integration challenges, resolve technical issues, and ensure smooth service operations.

Requirements

• At least two years of commercial experience in Python development, with a solid understanding of software engineering principles and production environments.
• Hands-on, daily experience with AI-powered coding tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or comparable solutions, with the ability to integrate them effectively into development workflows.
• Strong practical experience with FastAPI and/or Django for building and maintaining web applications and APIs.
• Solid understanding of asynchronous programming in Python, including asyncio, async/await, and event loop behavior.
• Good knowledge of PostgreSQL, including database design, indexing strategies, query optimization, and performance tuning.
• Practical experience working with MongoDB and Redis for data storage, caching, or related application requirements.
• Experience with message brokers such as RabbitMQ or similar technologies used for asynchronous communication and distributed systems.
• Experience with Docker and a good understanding of Kubernetes deployment and operational practices.
• Familiarity with CI/CD processes and automated delivery pipelines, preferably using GitLab CI/CD.
• Ability to write clean, scalable, testable, and maintainable code while following established engineering best practices.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate technical issues and develop effective solutions.
• English proficiency at B1 level or above, sufficient for reading technical documentation and communicating in writing.
• A collaborative, proactive approach to teamwork, code reviews, technical discussions, and continuous learning.
