Description

Key Responsibilities:

Backend Development & API Engineering

• Design, develop and implement highly performant RESTful services using FastAPI.
• Build scalable microservices-based solutions leveraging Python’s asyncio, multithreading, and multiprocessing capabilities.
• Develop middleware, request/response validation, authentication & authorization .
• Ensure APIs meet industry standards for speed, resiliency, and maintainability.

Data Engineering & Large Dataset Handling

• Work with large-scale datasets across structured and semi-structured data sources.
• Optimize data ingestion, transformation, and persistence pipelines for throughput and memory efficiency.
• Ensure data correctness, consistency, and scalability in high-volume systems.

Azure Cloud Integration

• Design and deploy cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure, using services such as:
• Azure App Service / Azure Functions
• Azure SQL Database / Azure MySQL
• Azure Storage (Blob, Files, Queues)
• Azure Batch Servic

Database Engineering (MySQL)

• Design and maintain complex MySQL schemas for performance and scalability.
• Optimize MySQL queries, indexes, partitioning, and replication.
• Work with MySQL on Azure (Azure Database for MySQL) including parameter tuning and monitoring.
• Implement caching patterns (Redis, Memcached) for low-latency APIs.

System Performance & Optimization

• Diagnose and fix concurrency issues, memory leaks, and performance bottlenecks.
• Use profiling tools to identify slow code paths.
• Optimize CPU- or I/O-bound processes using multithreading, multiprocessing, and async techniques.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Review code and enforce engineering best practices.
• Mentor junior and mid-level developers.
• Participate in system architecture design discussions.
• Work closely with crossfunctional teams to deliver reliable end-to-end solutions.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of professional experience in Python software development.
• Expert-level proficiency in FastAPI (or similar frameworks like Starlette/Falcon).
• Strong understanding of concurrency, including:
• Multithreading & synchronization
• Multiprocessing
• Async IO
• Strong experience processing large datasets and building high-throughput data pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, especially App Services, SQL/MySQL, Storage, Batch Service.
• Proficiency with MySQL database design, optimization, and complex query writing.
• Familiarity with Git, Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and automated deployments.
• Experience profiling Python performance and optimizing for CPU and memory.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision
