  • Debug and optimize production performance and reliability
  • Deploy and maintain backend services (Docker, Gunicorn, Nginx, cloud)

Required:

  • 3+ years backend experience with Python
  • Strong FastAPI or Django production experience
  • PostgreSQL + safe migration experience (Alembic/Django migrations)
  • Experience deploying and running backend services in production
  • AWS experience (S3, SQS, RDS, Lambda)
  • ETL pipelines – data extraction, cleaning, and processing in Python
  • Cron jobs and task scheduling (cron, Celery, or similar)
  • Comfortable working on existing SaaS systems with real users
  • Team experience using Git and Agile workflows

Nice to have:

  • SaaS product experience
