Backend Developer III (Python / Go)

Primary Skills: Python / Golang, RESTful APIs, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux Core Responsibilities: Design & Development : Architect and implement scalable backend services and APIs using Python or Golang, ensuring high performance, resilience, and extensibility. System Ownership : Take end-to-end ownership of critical modules, from design and development to deployment and support. Technical Leadership : Conduct design and code reviews, enforce best practices, and mentor junior engineers to raise the team’s technical bar. Collaboration : Work closely with product managers, architects, and other engineers to translate business requirements into technical solutions. Performance & Reliability : Troubleshoot complex issues in production systems, identify root causes, and design sustainable long-term solutions. Innovation : Evaluate new technologies, contribute to proof-of-concepts, and recommend tools that can improve developer productivity. Process Improvement : Drive initiatives to improve coding standards, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing practices. Knowledge Sharing: Document designs, create technical guides, and share insights with the broader engineering team. Experience and Expertise: 4–7 years of backend development experience with Python or Golang. Strong expertise in designing, developing, and scaling microservices and distributed systems. Solid understanding of concurrency, multi-threading, and performance optimization. Proficiency with databases (SQL/NoSQL), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.). Hands-on experience with Linux development, Docker, and Kubernetes. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and related services. Strong debugging, profiling, and optimization skills for production-grade systems. Experience with AI-powered development tools is a strong plus; familiarity with concepts like 'agentic coding' for workflow automation or 'context engineering' for leveraging LLMs in system design is highly desirable. Skills: Strong problem-solving ability, with experience handling complex technical challenges. Ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor junior engineers. Excellent communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and articulate trade-offs. Self-motivated, proactive, and able to operate independently while aligning with team goals. Passionate about engineering culture, quality, and developer productivity.
