Qualifications: •Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) •Demonstrated experience building and maintaining backend services or APIs with an emphasis on reliability and correctness. •Exposure to containerised development and deployment practices (Docker) and familiarity with operating services in Kubernetes environments (Azure / AKS in practice). •Exposure to authentication and authorisation concepts (JWT, RBAC, OIDC/SAML — Entra ID / Azure AD in practice) and interest in building secure-by-default services. •Demonstrated ability to learn from feedback, collaborate effectively, and deliver production-ready work within established engineering standards. •Proficient Python development skills; able to build FastAPI services using Pydantic, write tests with pytest, and follow linting/type-checking standards (Ruff, mypy), and manage environments and dependencies with uv. •Solid functional working knowledge of Postgres fundamentals: schema design basics, indexing concepts, and safe migration practices with Alembic. •Solid functional working knowledge of Redis patterns for caching and session storage; understands basic failure modes and operational considerations. •Operational familiarity with event-driven integration patterns applied where asynchronous behaviour adds value (change feeds / domain events, consumers, retries, idempotency); able to implement producers/consumers within established conventions. •Docker proficiency for local development and building container images; understands non-root execution and basic image hygiene. Compensation: •$64,000 - $76,750 / year •Competitive benefits and rewards package Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
