Backend Developer (Python/FastAPI) — AI Agent & API Integrations

We’re looking for a backend developer to integrate AI agents with our API layer and ensure reliable, secure, and scalable data flow across the system.

What You’ll Do

• API Engineering: Design, build, and maintain RESTful services using FastAPI (or Django REST/Flask with willingness to transition).
• Agent Integration: Connect AI agents to backend services, orchestrate inputs/outputs, and standardize response handling.
• Database & Persistence: Design schemas and write efficient queries for PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases).
• Caching & Queues: Implement Redis for caching, rate‑limiting, and message queuing where needed.
• Async & Background Jobs: Build background workers for long‑running tasks and event‑driven processing.
• Real‑time Status: Implement WebSockets for live progress updates and status streams.
• File & Document Pipelines: Handle uploads, storage, retrieval, and metadata management for documents.
• Observability & Reliability: Build robust error handling, logging, monitoring hooks, and safe retry patterns.
• Documentation: Maintain clear API specs, integration notes, and internal guides.
• Testing: Write unit and integration tests to ensure stable releases and confident refactors.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

• Strong Python fundamentals (async/await, type hints, clean architecture)
• Experience building APIs with FastAPI (or Django REST/Flask and ready to learn FastAPI quickly)
• Solid PostgreSQL / relational database experience
• Hands‑on Redis experience (caching and/or queues)
• Comfortable with Git, code reviews, and maintainable code standards
• Ability to read, debug, and improve existing codebases

Nice to Have

• AWS experience (e.g., S3, ElastiCache, cloud networking basics)
• WebSocket implementation experience
• Background processing frameworks (Celery/RQ/Arq/Temporal, etc.)
• Third‑party API integrations and webhook design
• UK property domain familiarity (a plus, not required)

What Matters Most (How We Evaluate)

• Impact > tenure: what you shipped, improved, or scaled matters more than years.
• Curiosity & craftsmanship: you’ve built something meaningful outside of tutorials.
• Debugging strength: you can trace issues across services and logs systematically.
• Learning agility: you ramp up quickly on unfamiliar systems.
• Integration mindset: you understand how APIs, databases, workers, and agents connect end‑to‑end.
• You need step‑by‑step handholding for core backend work
• Your experience is mostly tutorial‑level with little production application
• You struggle to work with existing codebases or explain your past work technically
