Database Management: Work with both SQL and NoSQL databases to store, retrieve, and optimize data access patterns. Ensure high availability and consistency across distributed systems.
Cloud Integration: Develop cloud-native solutions using AWS, GCP, or Azure. Leverage cloud services for optimizing Back End performance, data storage, and scalability.
Microservices Architecture: Design and implement microservices that communicate with various financial systems, focusing on modularity and separation of concerns.
Security: Implement robust security practices (authentication, authorization, encryption) in the API development process to ensure the platform's security.
Code Review and Best Practices: Write clean, well-documented, and efficient code. Participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality development practices.
Collaboration: Work closely with Front End engineers, product teams, and DevOps to define, design, and ship new features. Contribute to technical discussions and architectural decisions.
Troubleshooting and Optimization: Diagnose and resolve performance issues, bugs, and bottlenecks. Optimize code for maximum speed and scalability.
Technical Skills:
Proficient in Python: 3+ years of professional experience with Python for Back End development.
API Development: Strong experience with RESTful API design, development, and integration.
Cloud Exposure: Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure, including deploying services, managing databases, and cloud-native application development.
Database Knowledge: Strong knowledge of both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB).
Microservices: Experience with microservice architectures, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes is a plus).
Testing and CI/CD: Familiarity with testing frameworks (eg, PyTest) and building CI/CD pipelines.
Version Control: Proficient with Git for code versioning and collaboration.
Educational Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
Soft Skills:
Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.
Ability to work in a collaborative team environment as well as independently.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, particularly in explaining technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Desirable Skills:
Experience working in the FinTech sector, particularly within fund services or investment platforms.
