• Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Qualifications & Experience

• 8-12 years of software development experience.
• Experience building and maintaining production-grade applications.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is an advantage.
• Experience mentoring developers and establishing coding standards.
• Strong understanding of software architecture and system design principles.
• FastAPI / Django - Experience building scalable REST APIs and backend services using modern Python frameworks.
• PostgreSQL & SQLAlchemy - Strong database design, query optimization, ORM usage, and data modeling expertise.
• React & TypeScript - Full-stack development capability with modern frontend frameworks and strong UI integration skills.
