We are seeking a highly qualified Python Developer with substantial expertise in Flask and SQLAlchemy  to contribute to the development of our microservice-based application. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimising services within a containerised environment.

 

This role demands a self-sufficient professional who can provide technical leadership, particularly in areas where the internal team lacks specialised experience.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Microservices Development: Develop, maintain, and optimise microservices using Python, Flask, and SQLAlchemy, ensuring they meet high standards of performance and reliability.
  • Database Optimisation: Implement advanced strategies to enhance database performance, including the optimisation of queries and indexing within PostgreSQL and Aurora clusters.
  • Containerised Deployment: Deploy and manage services in Docker containers using AWS Fargate and EC2, ensuring seamless integration and operational scalability.
  • Technical Leadership: Offer expert guidance in Python development, Flask, SQLAlchemy, and database management. Provide insights into best practices and contribute to the overall technical direction of the project.
  • Independent Task Execution: Assume full ownership of assigned tasks, from inception through to deployment, with minimal supervision.

 

Skills and Qualifications:

  • Experience: A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in Python development, with extensive use of Flask.

Database Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL, with significant experience in database optimisation, particularly in clustered environments such as AWS Aurora.

Containerisation and Cloud: Strong practical experience in deploying and managing containerised applications using Docker, AWS Fargate, and EC2.

Microservices Architecture: Thorough understanding of microservices architecture, with a focus on performance, scalability, and best practices in cloud environments.

Analytical Skills: Exceptional problem-solving capabilities, particularly in the context of system performance optimisation and troubleshooting.

Autonomy: Demonstrated ability to work independently and efficiently manage workload with minimal oversight.

Communication: Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and collaborate effectively with the broader team.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Cloud Services: Familiarity with additional AWS services, such as Lambda, RDS, and S3, is advantageous.
  • CI/CD Experience: Experience with continuous integration and deployment processes and tools.
  • Agile Practices: Familiarity with Agile methodologies, including participation in sprints and collaborative development efforts.
