Staff Python Backend Engineer

Use Python and distributed systems expertise to build secure, scalable backend services from Canada. Work full time on cloud-native applications in AWS.

As a Staff Backend Engineer, you will design core services and backend logic for event-driven systems. The work spans asynchronous programming, data processing pipelines, serverless applications, and RESTful APIs. Strong distributed systems fundamentals support dependable engineering decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build event-driven backend logic using message queues and pub/sub services
• Manage concurrent tasks with asynchronous programming techniques
• Design data pipelines across cloud storage, compute, and databases
• Optimize performance through caching, async calls, and latency reduction
• Develop serverless applications and RESTful APIs with Flask or FastAPI

Requirements:

• Five or more years of hands-on Python backend development
• Experience with cloud-native or serverless solutions, preferably AWS
• Knowledge of event-driven architecture, queues, and scalable data pipelines
• Hands-on asynchronous and concurrent programming experience
• Strong testing and debugging skills across distributed architectures
