We're looking for a
hands-on backend developer
who thrives on curiosity, autonomy, and experimentation — someone who doesn't just wait for tasks but actively shapes the product, learns fast, and pushes boundaries. If you love solving complex problems, building scalable systems, and leveraging AI-assisted tools to code smarter, this role is for you.
Requirements
*What You'll Do*
Build, maintain, and scale backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI.
Design and implement secure, high-performance, and well-documented APIs.
Develop and manage authentication and authorization flows (OAuth, JWT, etc.).
Design and maintain structured databases, ensuring data integrity, scalability, and performance.
Collaborate closely with frontend and product teams for seamless integration.
Explore and deploy solutions on AWS/GCP or similar cloud environments.
Participate in code reviews, enforce clean architecture, and ensure high code quality.
Utilize AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Windsurf, Claude, GPT) to accelerate and optimize workflows.
Take ownership — identify problems, experiment with new ideas, and improve systems without waiting for instructions.
What We're Looking For
Strong expertise in Python and FastAPI.
Solid understanding of JavaScript and Python-based frameworks.
Proficiency with Git and version control best practices.
Strong fundamentals in backend architecture, data modeling, and structured databases.
Deep understanding of secure API design and auth mechanisms.
Ability to create clear, contextual documentation for APIs and backend logic.
A proactive mindset — curious, independent, and constantly learning.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
*Nice-to-Haves*
Familiarity with ReactJS / NextJS.
Experience with Linux and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP).
Knowledge of AI-assisted dev tools and agentic frameworks (CrewAI, LangChain).
Experience with testing frameworks, caching, and microservice architectures.
*Why You'll Love Working Here*
Work in a fast-paced, high-impact startup environment.
Experiment, learn, and grow your technical depth every day.
Be part of a team that values initiative over instructions and creativity over convention
