-   **Application Architecture:** Design modular and maintainable software architectures with clear separation between business logic, workflows, integrations, and infrastructure.
-   **Asynchronous Programming:** Implement asynchronous and event-driven workflows that effectively handle concurrency, timeouts, cancellations, retries, and partial failures.
-   **API Development and Integration:** Integrate internal and external systems through well-designed APIs, streaming interfaces, message queues, and structured data contracts.
-   **Production Reliability:** Ensure application quality and reliability through effective logging, monitoring, metrics, distributed tracing, automated testing, and safe release practices.
-   **Troubleshooting and Debugging:** Investigate production issues, analyse runtime evidence, identify root causes, and implement long-term solutions to prevent recurring failures.
-   **Technical Design:** Translate product requirements into practical technical designs, balancing scalability, maintainability, and simplicity.
-   **Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Work closely with Product, Frontend, Platform, Data, and Customer-facing teams throughout the design, development, and deployment lifecycle.
-   **Code Quality and Engineering Practices:** Participate in code reviews, maintain technical documentation, and continuously improve development processes and engineering workflows.

## Required Skills and Qualifications

-   5+ years of professional software development experience with strong hands-on expertise in Python.
-   Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, functional design principles, and software engineering best practices.
-   Experience with Python typing, packaging, dependency management, and maintainable code structures.
-   Practical knowledge of asynchronous programming, concurrency, API design, and distributed system failure scenarios.
-   Experience developing and managing backend services using relational or document databases, caching mechanisms, and messaging systems.
-   Strong understanding of testing methodologies, including unit, integration, contract, and regression testing.
-   Working knowledge of containers, cloud environments, version control systems, CI/CD pipelines, and production observability.
-   Good system-design capabilities, with the ability to evaluate technical trade-offs and develop simple, scalable solutions.
-   Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
-   Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.

## Must-Have Skills

-   Python
-   Object-Oriented Design
-   Functional Design

## Good-to-Have Skills

-   AI Integration
-   Machine Learning
-   Conversational Interfaces

## Preferred Qualifications

-   Experience integrating AI or machine-learning capabilities into customer-facing applications.
-   Exposure to conversational interfaces, streaming systems, real-time media processing, or multilingual applications.
-   Familiarity with workflow engines, state machines, tool orchestration, evaluation frameworks, and human-in-the-loop systems.
-   Experience developing software for regulated, privacy-sensitive, or high-reliability environments.
-   Ability to investigate latency, application quality, and user-experience issues across multiple system components.

## Expected Outcomes – First Six Months
