Title: Python Backend Engineer

Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid)

Job Type: Full-time/Contract

Experience: Strong hands-on backend engineering experience

Position Overview

We are looking for a strong Python Backend Engineer with hands-on experience designing and building scalable backend systems, microservices, APIs, and distributed applications.

This role is not suited for a developer focused only on application coding. The ideal candidate should demonstrate strong system design, backend architecture, problem-solving, and technical communication skills, along with the ability to work directly with client stakeholders.

You will design, develop, and maintain reliable backend services while collaborating with engineering and cross-functional teams to deliver scalable technology solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Python.
Design and implement RESTful APIs for frontend applications and third-party integrations.
Apply strong system design and software architecture principles to build scalable and maintainable solutions.
Design and develop microservices and distributed systems.
Build and deploy containerized applications using Docker.
Work with MySQL and relational database design, including performance optimization.
Implement asynchronous and event-driven communication using RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar messaging platforms.
Analyze technical requirements and translate them into effective backend solutions.
Participate in architectural and technical design discussions.
Write clean, maintainable, scalable, and testable code.
Troubleshoot complex production issues and optimize application performance.
Collaborate with frontend developers, architects, DevOps teams, and business stakeholders.
Participate in code reviews and promote engineering best practices.
Contribute to continuous improvement of development, deployment, and operational processes.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Strong hands-on experience with Python backend development.
Strong understanding of system design, software architecture, and distributed systems.
Proven experience designing and developing microservices-based applications.
Strong experience building and consuming RESTful APIs.
Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized applications.
Strong knowledge of MySQL and relational database concepts.
Experience with RabbitMQ, Kafka, or other message-broker technologies.
Strong understanding of backend performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
Experience with Git and modern software development practices.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to explain technical solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Comfortable participating in in-person client interviews and discussions.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
Knowledge of backend security and secure API development.
Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar.
Experience working in enterprise or financial services environments.
Canadian educational background is preferred but not mandatory.

Work Arrangement

This is a hybrid Toronto-based position.
Candidates must be able to work from the Toronto office at least 3 days per week.
Candidates must be comfortable attending in-person client interviews.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
