Senior Backend Developer
First seen by Alion on Aug 27, 2026.
Role Summary :
We are hiring Senior Backend Developers who can operate as strong full-stack Django engineers on Fuse-OS. You will own meaningful backend workstreams end-to-end from design and implementation through quality and production readiness while contributing frontend changes when needed (HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS). Hands-on Python/Django experience is essential.
Key Responsibilities :
- Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs for Fuse-OS.
- Own medium-to-complex workstreams end-to-end : data models, APIs, background jobs, and light UI wiring.
- Improve reliability, performance, observability, and maintainability of production systems.
- Apply sound engineering practices for multi-tenant SaaS (security, permissions, data isolation).
- Collaborate closely with frontend, QA, and product/delivery to ship high-quality releases.
- Mentor other backend engineers through design discussions, pairing, and code reviews.
- Participate in architecture discussions and help evolve platform technical standards.
- Support production troubleshooting and continuous improvement of engineering quality.
Required Skills & Qualifications :
- 2 to 5 years of professional experience with Python and Django in production systems.
- Solid experience with Django REST Framework, asynchronous job processing (e.g., Celery), Redis, and PostgreSQL.
- Proven ability to design data models, write migrations, and ship maintainable APIs.
- Full-stack capability : HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, and CSS sufficient to complete UI wiring without blocking frontend.
- Strong debugging skills across application, database, and background-job layers.
- Experience collaborating in Agile teams with clear quality standards and delivery cadence.
- Comfort reviewing code and coaching peers on engineering best practices.
Preferred / Nice to Have :
- Hands-on Selenium automation experience with Python (big plus).
- AWS familiarity (compute, storage, messaging, monitoring, IAM basics) optional but strongly preferred.
- Experience with multi-tenant architectures, containers, and production SaaS operations.
- Exposure to document/data processing pipelines, reconciliation-style systems, or enterprise integrations.
- Awareness of application security, RBAC, auditability, and privacy-by-design practices.
- Interest in AI-assisted product workflows and intelligent automation.
Domain Preference :
Familiarity with the insurance industry and InsurTech is preferred but not mandatory. Strong engineering fundamentals and willingness to learn the domain matter more.
What We Offer :
- Opportunity to build a category-defining Insurance Distribution Operating System (Fuse-OS).
- Work on modern multi-tenant SaaS architecture with meaningful ownership and mentoring.
- Collaborative product and engineering culture focused on quality and customer outcomes.
- Exposure to enterprise SaaS, AI-enabled workflows, and large-scale operational systems.
- Growth path with clear impact on product and customers.
