Middle Python Developer

What You Will Do

• Design and develop backend services in Python 3.11+ using Framework and FastAPI.
• Build and document REST APIs consumed by web (React / Vue) and mobile clients.
• Work with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB): schema and document model design, migrations, query optimization and indexing.
• Integrate third-party services and APIs:  CRM and email platforms, analytics, social logins.
• Cover code with unit and integration tests (pytest) and maintain test coverage on the modules you own.
• Participate in code reviews — both as author and as reviewer; share knowledge with juniors and middles.
• Work with async tasks (Celery, RQ) and caching (Redis) for background processing and performance-critical paths.
• Containerize services with Docker and ship them through our CI/CD (GitLab CI / GitHub Actions) to staging and production.
• Take part in technical discovery: estimate tasks, propose architecture options, flag risks early to PM and Tech Lead.
• Support production: read logs, debug incidents, propose and implement long-term fixes — not just hotfixes.

Must Have

• 2+ years of commercial Python development experience in web/backend projects.
• Solid understanding of OOP, SOLID, design patterns and clean code principles.
• Confident with both relational and NoSQL databases: SQL (PostgreSQL preferred — indexes, transactions, ORM internals, N+1 problem and how to avoid it) and MongoDB (document modeling, aggregation pipelines, indexes).
• Experience designing and documenting REST APIs (OpenAPI / Swagger).
• Practical experience with Git and a feature-branch / GitFlow workflow, code reviews via merge requests / pull requests.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and basic CI/CD (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines).
• Experience writing tests with pytest (or unittest) — unit and integration level.
• English — Intermediate or higher (B1+), enough to read documentation, write tickets and join client calls when needed.
• Ownership and engineering maturity: you do not push code you would not want to maintain yourself.

Will Be a Plus

• Experience with async Python (asyncio, async ORM, async FastAPI endpoints).
• Experience with Celery / RQ for background jobs and Redis for caching and queues.
• Cloud experience: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda), GCP or DigitalOcean.
• Experience with microservice and event-driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Kafka).
• Familiarity with frontend basics (React / Vue) — enough to debug an integration end-to-end.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools: Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK.
• Open-source contributions or a public GitHub portfolio.

Team & Projects

You will join the Backend team and report to the Tech Lead. On a daily basis you will work with frontend engineers (React / Vue), QA, designers and a dedicated PM. 

Typical projects you will be working on:

• Custom B2B web platforms with complex business logic.
• High-traffic backends and headless storefronts: catalog APIs,  integrations, search.
• Internal tools and admin panels for our own and clients’ teams: dashboards, reporting, role-based access, data exports.
• Greenfield MVPs built on FastAPI — fast iterations, clean architecture from day one.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary reviewed every 6 months based on performance and KPIs.
• Hybrid format: office + remote on Thursdays and Fridays. Flexible start time — 9:00 or 10:00  with 1 hour for lunch.
• 5 working days of paid vacation and 5 paid sick leave.
• English classes.
• Modern office, team events, corporate gifts, no bureaucracy and no micro-management.
