We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer with strong expertise in Backend Engineering, Python, and Goto design, develop, and maintain scalable, reliable, and high-performance backend systems.
The role is suited for an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, designing robust services, and building production-grade systems that can scale with evolving business and product requirements. You will contribute across the backend engineering lifecycle, from architecture and API design to implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
You will work closely with product, frontend, infrastructure, DevOps, QA, and other engineering teams to deliver reliable backend capabilities and maintain high standards of code quality, performance, security, and maintainability.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable backend services using Python and Go
Build reliable, secure, and high-performance APIs and backend applications
Translate product and technical requirements into maintainable backend solutions
Design service architectures that support scalability, reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability
Develop RESTful APIs, microservices, integrations, and backend components
Write clean, reusable, testable, and production-ready code following established engineering practices
Work with relational and NoSQL databases to design efficient data models and queries
Implement appropriate caching, asynchronous processing, messaging, and distributed-system patterns where required
Optimise application performance, resource utilisation, scalability, and system responsiveness
Develop unit, integration, and automated tests to maintain backend quality and reliability
Participate in architecture discussions, technical design reviews, and peer code reviews
Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable fixes
Collaborate with frontend, product, QA, DevOps, infrastructure, and other engineering teams
Support CI/CD pipelines, deployments, monitoring, logging, and production-release activities
Improve system observability through appropriate logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting
Identify technical debt, architectural improvements, and opportunities for automation and engineering efficiency
Contribute to documentation, coding standards, development processes, and backend engineering best practices
Stay current with developments in Python, Go, distributed systems, cloud-native technologies, and modern backend engineering
What Makes You a Great Fit
4+ years of professional experience in backend software engineering or a closely related role
Strong hands-on expertise in Python and Go, with experience building production-grade backend systems
Strong understanding of backend architecture, software design principles, data structures, algorithms, and design patterns
Proven experience developing REST APIs, microservices, and distributed backend services
Strong understanding of databases, data modelling, query optimisation, and transaction management
Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL/MySQL and familiarity with NoSQL technologies is an advantage
Good understanding of concurrency, asynchronous processing, caching, messaging, and distributed-system concepts
Strong knowledge of software testing, debugging, performance optimisation, and production troubleshooting
Experience with Git and modern CI/CD development workflows
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, observability, and infrastructure automation is an advantage
Strong understanding of secure software development and API security practices
Ability to independently own technical problems from design through implementation, deployment, and support
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to code quality and system reliability
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with technical and cross-functional stakeholders
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and contributing to evolving architecture and engineering practices
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline is preferred
