• Implement message-driven systems using RabbitMQ and background workers
• Write clean, testable, production-grade Python code following Clean Architecture and best practices
• Enforce engineering best practices: code reviews, architecture standards, CI/CD discipline
• Collaborate in an Agile environment with clearly defined monthly delivery milestones
• Take responsibility for system reliability, scalability, performance, and security
• Mentor other engineers and raise the overall engineering bar
• Work closely with product and business to ship real business outcomes, not just features.

• Solid understanding of Azure serverless & event-driven architectures.

Strong grasp of:

• Distributed systems
• Event-driven design
• Microservices and Clean Architecture
• Security, performance, and reliability engineering
