About Us
At Digital Forms, we help companies grow through digital transformation — from process optimization and automation to AI and custom software development. Our technology team designs and builds the solutions that drive this change: scalable systems, data platforms, integrations, and products that make a real business impact.
We work with international clients across industries, focusing on long-term, high-quality engineering that supports business growth. Every line of code we write serves a clear purpose — to make technology practical, efficient, and ready for scale.
The Role
As a Senior Back-End Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing and building the systems that power our clients’ transformations. You’ll work on challenging, large-scale projects — from custom SaaS platforms to complex integrations — with modern technologies and high autonomy.
You’ll collaborate closely with our technical leads, contributing to system architecture, implementing best practices, and delivering robust, maintainable back-end solutions. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who wants to deepen their expertise, take ownership of key parts of a system, and work in an environment that values quality and thoughtful engineering.
Key Responsibilities
Build & Deliver: Design, develop, and maintain scalable back-end systems and APIs in Python (Django, FastAPI), ensuring high performance and reliability.
Collaborate: Work closely with front-end developers, DevOps engineers, and business analysts to deliver complete, production-ready solutions.
Contribute to Architecture: Participate in architectural discussions and propose improvements that enhance scalability, maintainability, and security.
Ensure Quality: Write clean, well-documented code, contribute to code reviews, and promote engineering best practices.
Optimize Performance: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, ensuring stability and efficiency at scale.
Deploy & Monitor: Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and observability improvements.
Learn & Grow: Continuously improve your skills, exploring new technologies and patterns that make our solutions better.
Must-Have Qualifications
Strong Python Experience: Solid hands-on experience with Python and modern frameworks (Django, FastAPI).
Cloud Experience: Practical knowledge of AWS services and deploying applications in cloud environments.
System Design: Proven ability to design, implement, and maintain modular, scalable systems and APIs.
Databases: Strong understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL or MySQL) and experience with ORMs.
CI/CD & Git: Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) and version control best practices.
Problem Solving: Ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions with minimal supervision.
Team Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and experience working in agile, cross-functional teams.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
Experience with asynchronous/event-driven systems (Celery, RabbitMQ, Kafka).
Knowledge of Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools.
Familiarity with Docker and container-based deployments.
Experience with monitoring and logging (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
Understanding of NoSQL or in-memory databases (MongoDB, Redis).
What We Offer
Work on complex, international projects with tangible business impact.
Competitive compensation based on experience and contribution.
Full remote work setup with flexible hours.
A strong engineering culture focused on long-term quality, not just delivery speed.
Continuous learning and mentorship from experienced leads.
