EXL Digital is looking for an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join our team. At EXL, we believe there is always a better way. We look deeper, we find it, and we make it happen. We've built a culture founded on core values of innovation, collaboration, excellence, integrity, and respect.

In this role, you will primarily design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems using Python (Django and FastAPI), while contributing approximately 10-20% of your time to frontend development using a modern JavaScript framework. You'll work on enterprise-grade applications running on AWS, integrate with third-party services, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions. This is an ideal opportunity for a backend specialist who enjoys occasionally crossing into the UI layer to ship complete, end-to-end features.
