Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced and motivated Python Lead to join our dynamic engineering team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Python development, with hands-on experience in designing and developing microservices-based architectures. You will work closely with software engineers and AI/ML teams to build scalable solutions and integrate complex systems.

This role requires deep technical expertise in Python programming, API design, and software engineering principles. While experience in AI/ML ecosystems is a plus, the core requirement is proven expertise in end-to-end software development using Python.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of scalable, high-performance applications using Python.
• Implement microservices and backend components as per architecture defined by AI/ML engineers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Ensure high-quality code through best practices, unit testing, and code reviews.
• Design and maintain APIs and ensure seamless system integration.
• Take ownership of project deliverables and mentor junior developers in the team.
• Work with DevOps and QA teams to ensure smooth deployment and release cycles.
• Stay up to date with the latest trends in Python development and modern engineering practices.
  
  

Required Skills And Experience

• 10–12 years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on Python.
• Deep expertise in microservices architecture and RESTful API development.
• Hands-on experience with Python frameworks (e.g., Flask, FastAPI, Django).
• Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Experience with containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is an advantage.
• Familiarity with AI/ML libraries or ecosystems (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.) is desirable but not mandatory.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Proven ability to lead development teams and deliver robust solutions.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Certifications in Python, cloud technologies, or microservices architecture are a plus.
