**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled **Python Engineer (Python & Microservices)** to join a dynamic, enterprise data engineering chapter in Dubai. This role bridges the gap between high-performance backend engineering and robust data architecture, focusing on the end-to-end delivery of scalable business platforms and data-driven enterprise systems.

The ideal candidate will possess expert-level proficiency in core Python, modern asynchronous web frameworks, and distributed microservices architectures. You will be responsible for designing secure RESTful APIs, building efficient data transformation (ETL) pipelines to serve massive datasets, and optimizing both relational and NoSQL database layers.

## Requirements

### Key Responsibilities

### 1\. Python Microservices & API Development

-   Design, develop, and maintain secure, scalable, and resilient microservices architectures using **Python**.
-   Build and serve high-performance RESTful APIs utilizing asynchronous web frameworks such as **FastAPI** and **Flask** (or Django/Pyramid).
-   Optimize concurrent connections and I/O operations using advanced asynchronous programming patterns (**asyncio**).
-   Collaborate closely with front-end developers and cross-functional teams to integrate user-facing elements with complex server-side data logic.

### 2\. Data Transformations & Schema Management

-   Design, build, and optimize robust data transformation pipelines and **ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)** processes to clean, aggregate, and enrich large datasets for analytical consumption.
-   Architect and maintain database schemas across both **Relational** and **NoSQL** data storage solutions, ensuring data integrity, quality, and consistency.
-   Implement optimized data access layers using Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) like **SQLAlchemy** or **Django ORM** to abstract and streamline CRUD operations, data queries, and transaction handling.

### 3\. Security, DevOps & Platform Engineering

-   Enforce security best practices across all microservices, implementing robust authentication, authorization, and encryption protocols using **OAuth, JWT**, and **API Gateways**.
-   Act as a core developer focused on productionizing frameworks, taking ownership of developing and maintaining automated **CI/CD pipelines**.
-   Utilize advanced debugging, logging, profiling, and testing techniques (unit testing, integration testing) to ensure code reliability.

### Technical Specifications & Skills

### Core Technical Stack (Essential)

-   **Programming & Frameworks:** Expert Python development. Hands-on experience with **FastAPI, Flask, asyncio**, and routing/templating workflows.
-   **ORMs & Databases:** Strong database manipulation using **SQLAlchemy** or **Django ORM**. High proficiency in writing complex **SQL** and database tuning.
-   **Security:** Solid experience securing microservices via **JWT, OAuth**, and gateway configurations.
-   **Tooling & Scripting:** Strong **Shell scripting** prowess and version control mastery (**Git** workflow: branching, merging, pull requests).
-   **Engineering Practices:** Demonstrated background productionizing code and configuring **CI/CD** automation.

### Data Ecosystem Awareness & Preferred Skills

-   **Big Data Awareness:** Familiarity with data warehousing concepts and Big Data technologies (e.g., **Hadoop, Spark, Kafka**).
-   **Cloud & Containers (Preferred):** Practical exposure to cloud platforms (**AWS, Azure, or GCP**) and containerization (**Docker, Kubernetes**).
-   **Data Governance (Preferred):** Awareness of data compliance, data governance, and enterprise data security principles.

### Qualifications & Experience

-   **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related quantitative technical field.
-   **Experience:** Proven track record as a Core Python/Data Engineer delivering production-grade microservices and data pipelines in an enterprise environment.
-   **Soft Skills:** Exceptional problem-solving abilities with high attention to detail. Excellent communication, team collaboration, and documentation skills to present technical considerations effectively to stakeholders.
