We are seeking an experienced and passionate Senior Back-End Engineer with a strong focus on Python to join our global, fast-growing team. You will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and scaling the backend infrastructure of our innovative platform. In addition to owning critical backend components, you will act as a mentor to junior engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning. While your primary responsibility will be back-end development, you will also have opportunities to collaborate across the full stack, ensuring the platform meets the highest standards of performance, reliability, and security.

Responsibilities

• Architect and develop distributed, scalable back-end services and APIs, primarily in Python.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers by providing technical leadership, conducting code reviews, and sharing best practices.
• Collaborate with front-end engineers to build and optimize APIs that facilitate seamless communication between front-end and back-end components.
• Design and maintain data models using relational and/or NoSQL databases.
• Implement robust security measures to protect user data and system integrity.
• Optimize and monitor system performance, proactively identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Work closely with global teams (US and India), effectively coordinating across time zones and diverse cultural backgrounds.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in back-end technologies and best practices, and help drive continuous improvement across the engineering team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in back-end development, with a strong track record in Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI, or similar frameworks).
• Proven ability to mentor and develop junior engineers, ensuring they grow in their technical and professional skills.
• Experience working in distributed/global teams (US and India) and effectively collaborating across multiple time zones.
• Experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, DynamoDB).
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and deploying production-grade services.
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
• Proficiency in implementing security best practices and writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with full-stack development (front-end technologies) is a plus.
