Key Responsibilities :

• Build and maintain scalable Python backend services and REST APIs using Django, FastAPI, and/or Flask.

• Collaborate with product, QA, DevOps, and engineering teams; support CI/CD, deployment, and operational readiness.

Required Skills & Experience :

• 10 - 15 years of software engineering experience with strong, recent hands-on Python backend development.
• Strong Python, OOP, debugging, clean-code, and software design fundamentals.
• Production experience with Django, FastAPI, and/or Flask; strong REST API and microservices knowledge.
