The Role:

We are looking for a Senior Python Developer (Fullstack, Backend-Heavy) to join one of our high-growth client teams as a core software architect. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, scaling, and maintaining high-throughput backend systems while having the fullstack dexterity to build out the corresponding frontends.

You will handle everything from high-performance asynchronous API design and background task orchestration to state management on the client side. This is an ideal role for an engineer who loves the clean syntax and processing capabilities of Python but values the completeness of delivering a seamless end-to-end user experience.

What we are looking for:

5+ years of production experience with modern Python, with a deep understanding of advanced concepts (metaclasses, generators, decorators) and asynchronous programming (asyncio).
Mastery of FastAPI for high-performance microservices or Django (including Django REST Framework) for robust, feature-rich monolithic web applications.
Solid, hands-on experience with modern frontend development using TypeScript and React.js (or Vue.js) to connect backends to reactive interfaces.
Strong background in handling long-running background tasks and event-driven processing using Celery, Redis, or RabbitMQ.
Deep knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) including query profiling, optimization, indexing, and object-relational mapping (SQLAlchemy or Django ORM).
Experience containerizing applications with Docker and deploying services into cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure) via automated CI/CD pipelines.
Dedication to writing highly testable code, utilizing pytest for comprehensive unit and integration test coverage.

Nice-to-have:

Familiarity with vector databases (Pinecone, ChromaDB) or integrating LLM workflows.
Experience with frontend state management libraries (Redux Toolkit, Zustand).
Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
Understanding of clean architecture and domain-driven design (DDD).

Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and deploy robust Python backends alongside clean, responsive frontend applications.
Design self-documenting, clean, and secure RESTful or GraphQL APIs that serve as predictable contracts for the frontend.
Profile, benchmark, and optimize Python applications to eliminate performance bottlenecks and improve memory management.
Conduct detailed, constructive peer code reviews, championing type-hinting, PEP 8 standards, and structural best practices.
Collaborate closely with Product Managers, UI/UX designers, and cross-functional engineers to break down complex requirements into technical milestones.
