Description

  • Design and build FastAPI-based services and APIs focused on performance, clarity, and maintainability.
  • Implement state machines and event-driven workflows that coordinate asynchronous operations across multiple services.
  • Design and query complex relational, geospatial, and temporal data models in PostgreSQL.
  • Build pub/sub and task processing patterns using Redis and modern async frameworks.
  • Integrate and extend authentication and authorization systems for role-based and attribute-based access control.
  • Deploy and maintain containerized applications using Docker with attention to reliability, observability, and security.
  • Write unit, integration, and performance tests to validate reliability and correctness.
  • Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions, contributing to design patterns, tooling, and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to define APIs, data contracts, and workflow orchestration patterns.
  • Own backend services from design through deployment with minimal oversight.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional backend software engineering experience with a strong focus on Python.
  • Proven ability to design and deliver production-grade APIs and services using FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks.
  • Solid experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and migrations.
  • Practical knowledge of geospatial and time-series querying, data modeling, and efficient indexing.
  • Experience building asynchronous systems using Redis (pub/sub, streams, or queues) or similar technologies.
  • Strong foundation in Docker-based development and deployment workflows.
  • Deep understanding of software engineering best practices, including version control, testing, CI/CD, documentation, and type safety.
  • Demonstrated ability to take full ownership of a complex backend service from concept to production with minimal oversight.
  • Experience with event-driven architectures such as Celery, FastStream, Kafka, or similar tools (preferred).
  • Familiarity with authentication and authorization standards such as OIDC, OAuth2, and RBAC (preferred).
  • Experience with geospatial frameworks such as Shapely, GeoAlchemy2, or H3 (preferred).
  • Understanding of observability and monitoring tools such as Sentry, structured logging, and tracing (preferred).
  • Experience deploying to cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP (preferred).
  • Prior work with async I/O in Python such as asyncio or aiohttp (preferred).
