Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Backend Developer – Python to design, build, and continuously enhance complex enterprise-grade applications, data-intensive services, and automation platforms. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on delivering robust, secure, and high-performance Python systems that operate reliably within distributed and mission-critical production environments. The ideal candidate will bring deep Python expertise combined with strong fundamentals in software architecture, data engineering, and operational support, and will partner closely with product, data, and infrastructure teams to translate ambiguous business problems into well-engineered technical solutions. You will be expected to think beyond surface-level fixes, identify root causes of complex issues, and proactively raise the engineering bar across the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide end-to-end design, development, and advanced technical troubleshooting for complex enterprise-grade Python applications.
• Develop secure, high-quality, production-ready Python code and implement algorithms that perform reliably within distributed systems.
• Produce architecture and design artifacts for complex applications, ensuring adherence to defined design constraints and performance requirements.
• Develop and optimize data processing logic for large-scale datasets.
• Gather, analyze, and synthesize large and diverse datasets to support continuous improvement of applications and business processes.
• Develop reporting mechanisms, dashboards, and data visualizations as required.
• Identify hidden defects, performance bottlenecks, and architectural weaknesses, and implement improvements.
• Contribute to engineering best practices, conduct peer code reviews, and mentor less-senior engineers.
• Participate fully in Agile development cycles and CI/CD processes.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders to clarify requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
• Support operational stability through structured incident response and post-incident reviews.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of applied Python development experience in enterprise-grade environments.
• Strong experience building and maintaining large-scale production applications.
• Hands-on experience with relational database systems such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Sybase.
• Strong understanding of the full software development lifecycle (SDLC).
• Proven hands-on experience across system design, application development, automated testing, and operational support.
• Strong working knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and computational efficiency.
• Demonstrated experience debugging and maintaining complex, enterprise-level applications in production.
• Solid understanding of Agile methodologies, CI/CD practices, and secure coding standards.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects in dynamic environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong shell scripting skills in UNIX/Linux environments.
• Solid grounding in mathematical and statistical concepts.
• Hands-on experience with the Python data and ML ecosystem.
• Working exposure to AWS cloud services and cloud-native storage technologies.
