Job Description: Senior Python (FastAPI) Developer

Role: Senior Python Developer (FastAPI)
Location: Remote
W2 &C2C

About the Project

We are building a Greenfield microservices platform in Python using FastAPI, designed to integrate with healthcare partners (e.g., Blue Cross Blue Shield) and HRIS systems (e.g., Paylocity, BambooHR). The team is transitioning from Ruby on Rails and Python Flask to a modern, high-performance FastAPI ecosystem.
Integrations are orchestrated using Workato (iPaaS) for seamless automation and connectivity between internal systems and external partners.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable Python-based microservices using FastAPI.

  • Build robust and secure RESTful APIs for partner integrations.

  • Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and integration teams.

  • Work with Workato (iPaaS) or similar tools to build integrations with healthcare and HR systems.

  • Integrate third-party APIs such as:

    • Healthcare carriers: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, etc.

    • HRIS systems: Paylocity, BambooHR, Workday, ADP.

  • Participate in code reviews, CI/CD workflows, and deploy frequently using GitLab pipelines.

  • Contribute to API documentation, automated testing, and performance tuning.

  • Champion best practices in software design, security, and observability.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years of professional experience in backend software development.

  • Strong Python expertise, especially with FastAPI (or willingness to migrate from Flask/Django).

  • Proven experience designing REST APIs and building microservices.

  • Hands-on experience with Workato, MuleSoft, Boomi, or other iPaaS platforms.

  • Experience with 3rd-party integrations (especially healthcare and HRIS domains).

  • Familiarity with GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, and modern deployment workflows.

  • Strong understanding of authentication (OAuth2, JWT) and API security best practices.

  • Experience in Agile/Scrum environments with frequent deployments.
