  • Demonstrate proficiency in writing multithreaded and parallel processing code for optimizing performance 
  • Drive the creation of modularized codebase, ensuring reusability and maintainability across projects 
  • Develop high-quality Python code adhering to SOLID principles and design patterns 
  • Design and implement scalable solutions leveraging cloud technologies 
  • Contribute to database design and optimization strategies 
  • Mentor and guide team members to enhance code quality and best practices 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust and efficient solutions. 
  • Collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions 
  • Drive code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards, quality, and performance benchmarks 
  • Research and implement emerging technologies to enhance system efficiency 
  • Lead initiatives to improve development processes and tools, fostering innovation  and productivity 
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the team

Required Qualifications

  • Full-time hands-on software engineering experience: Minimum 5+ years designing, developing, and delivering high-performance, production-grade applications using Python in complex, distributed systems.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python 3.12+ (or latest stable release):
    • Deep understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP), design patterns (e.g., Singleton, Factory, Strategy), and Python-specific idioms (e.g., context managers, decorators, generators, async/await).
    • Follows PEP8 standards and best practices for readable, maintainable, and testable code.
    • Proficient in type hints (PEP 484), dataclasses, and pydantic for robust, type-safe applications.
  • Strong grasp of core engineering concepts:
    • Connection pooling (e.g., SQLAlchemy, psycopg2 connection pools)
    • Scalability, throughput optimization, memory management, and profiling using tools like cProfile, line_profiler, memory_profiler.
    • Asynchronous programming using asyncio, aiohttp, and event-driven architectures.
  • Experience designing distributed systems and microservices using REST APIs, gRPC, or GraphQL.
  • Cloud-native development experience, preferably with AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, SageMaker).
  • Strong database expertise:
    • Relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL): query optimization, indexing strategies, schema design, transactions.
    • NoSQL databases (MongoDB 7+, DynamoDB): data modeling, query optimization, partitioning strategies.
  • Proficient in testing methodologies:
    • Unit testing (pytest, unittest), integration testing, mocking (unittest.mock, pytest-mock), and Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices.
    • Familiarity with Testcontainers for integration tests in containerized environments.
  • Containerization and orchestration:
    • Proficiency with Docker (latest best practices, multi-stage builds, slim images).
    • Experience with Kubernetes: deployments, services, config maps, secrets, and Helm charts.
  • Experience guiding and mentoring team members—code reviews, knowledge sharing, and promoting best practices across teams.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills—able to articulate design choices, trade-offs, and complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Exposure to Machine Learning concepts:
    • Familiarity with ML frameworks: TensorFlow 2.x, PyTorch 2.x, scikit-learn, or XGBoost.
    • Experience integrating models into production services (model serving, feature stores, API wrappers).
  • Hands-on experience with MLOps pipelines and tools:
    • AWS SageMaker for model training, deployment, and monitoring.
    • MLflow, Kubeflow, or ZenML for experiment tracking and reproducibility.
  • Bonus: Experience with API design principles (OpenAPI/Swagger) and CI/CD pipelines for Python applications (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins).
  • Experience using Cloud ML platforms and MLOps frameworks in production environments, preferably AWS SageMaker
