About The Position

We are looking for a Software Engineer with a minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in building scalable, robust software applications using Python. Note: We are specifically seeking a Python Software Developer/Engineer—someone who writes production-ready, clean, modular Python code and understands software design patterns, backend development, and database architecture—rather than a Python user/scripting user.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related technical field from a Tier-1 / Premium Institute.
• Minimum 2+ years of dedicated experience in software development with Python (deep understanding of data structures, OOPs, asynchronous programming, modules, and packaging).
• Strong hands-on experience interfacing Python with databases using ORMs (e.g., SQLAlchemy, Django ORM) or native drivers.
• Practical knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis), including writing complex SQL queries and indexing.
• Proficiency with Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask.
• Strong problem-solving skills, knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and system design basics.
• Proficient with Git, Linux environments, Docker, and RESTful API integration.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with message queues or event streams (e.g., RabbitMQ, Celery, Kafka).
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong analytical and logical reasoning skills.
• Obsession with code quality, test coverage, and software design patterns.
• Clear technical communication and collaborative mindset.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and deploy production-grade applications, modules, and REST APIs using Python.
• Build, query, and optimize relational and/or non-relational databases connected to Python backends.
• Write clean, readable, modular, and reusable Python code adhering to OOP, SOLID principles, and proper engineering practices.
• Analyze application performance, debug bottlenecks, and optimize database queries and backend workflows.
• Write unit tests, perform integration testing, and maintain code versioning through Git.
• Partner with cross-functional product, architecture, and engineering teams to turn feature requirements into technical solutions.
