Summary

Python Developer

Software Engineer (Python/FastAPI) — AI Applications


Role: Build, operate, and scale Python APIs and backend services that integrate AI capabilities (e.g., Google Gemini via Vertex AI) to power internal and external applications. You will not build models; you’ll productionize integrations, orchestrations, and data flows around them.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and document FastAPI services and SDKs for AI features.
  • Integrate third-party AI providers (Gemini, Bedrock, OpenAI) with secure, observable patterns.
  • Build event-driven and synchronous backends (REST/webhooks/queues) with robust error handling.
  • Optimize latency, throughput, and cost; add caching, rate limiting, and retries/circuit breakers.
  • Ship high-quality code with tests, CI/CD.
  • Instrument services (structured logs, metrics, traces) and own production readiness/runbooks.
  • Collaborate with product, data, and ML teams to translate requirements into APIs and workflows.
  • Uphold security, privacy, and compliance (secrets, OAuth/OIDC, PII handling).

 

Required Qualifications

  • 4–8+ years software engineering (mid–senior); strong Python 3.x.
  • Production FastAPI (or Flask) delivering secure, versioned APIs.
  • Cloud experience on Google Cloud Platform or AWS (e.g., Cloud Run/GKE/Pub/Sub or Lambda/EKS/API Gateway/SQS).
  • Datastores: Postgres/MySQL and one of Redis/ElastiCache/Memorystore; migrations and schema design.
  • CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Cloud Build), containerization (Docker), IaC familiarity (Terraform helpful).
  • Testing culture (unit/integration/contract), API specs (OpenAPI), and observability.
  • Strong grasp of resiliency patterns and performance tuning in distributed systems.
