About the role
We are looking for a Python Backend Developer to build and extend the backend of an internal developer portal and dashboard, using AI coding tools in daily work.
The mandatory requirements are 4+ years of backend development with Python and FastAPI, Django, or Flask, experience with Snowflake, SQL, and NoSQL databases, REST API design, Git and CI/CD, daily use of AI coding assistants, and an upper-intermediate English level.
Must haves
● Python Expertise: Strong hands-on backend development experience of at least 4 years using Python and standard web frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Django, or Flask).
● AI Tooling: Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants in daily development workflows.
● Version Control & CI/CD: Proficiency with Git, including branch management, pull requests, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
● Linux/Unix Fundamentals: User-level proficiency with Linux/Unix command-line navigation, shell scripting basics, and environment manipulation (no administrative/sysadmin duties required).
● Database Integration: Experience working with diverse databases, including Snowflake, relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL), and non-relational (e.g., MongoDB) databases.
● API Design: Solid understanding of RESTful API design principles and integration.
● Upper-intermediate English level.
Nice to haves
● Familiarity with modern frontend development (TypeScript or modern component-based frameworks like React/Vue) for cross-stack collaboration.
● Basic understanding of cloud infrastructure and containerization tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
● Experience working within an Agile/Scrum development lifecycle.
What you will do
● Continue the development and extension of the internal developer portal and dashboard.
● Design, build, and maintain a robust custom Python backend to support core application features.
● Leverage AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar) to streamline implementation, refactoring, and test generation.
● Integrate the application with diverse database environments, specifically Snowflake, relational (SQL), and non-relational (NoSQL) databases.
● Manage version control and CI/CD pipelines (Git) to maintain automated testing and smooth deployment workflows.
● Interact with and navigate Linux/Unix environments on a user level to run development builds, execute scripts, and inspect logs.
● Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate user requirements into scalable technical solutions.
● Ensure code quality through unit testing, peer code reviews, and performance optimization.
