  • Testing and Quality Assurance: Develop and maintain automated tests, conduct code reviews, and ensure code quality through continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

  • Documentation: Create comprehensive API documentation to assist internal and external developers in understanding and using our APIs effectively.

  • Troubleshooting and Debugging: Investigate and resolve complex issues related to API functionality, performance, and reliability.

  • Scalability: Plan and implement strategies for horizontal scaling to accommodate growing user demands.

  • Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, front-end developers, and other teams to gather requirements and deliver API solutions that align with business goals.

  • Mentorship: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of learning and growth within the team.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience (6+ years) in Python development, with a focus on API development.
  • Strong knowledge of RESTful API design principles and best practices.
  • Proficiency in Python web frameworks such as Flask or Django.
  • Experience with database systems (SQL and NoSQL) and data modeling.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Expertise in writing unit tests and using testing frameworks.
  • Solid understanding of security protocols and best practices (e.g., OAuth, JWT, HTTPS).
  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
