Python Developer - Strategic Hiring 2027 (India)

Job Description Role Overview We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Python Developer to design, develop, and deliver scalable cloud-native microservices, event-driven architectures, and contemporary AI/LLM-powered solutions. In this role, you will build robust back-end systems using Python (FastAPI, Async I/O), develop data and messaging pipelines, integrate Enterprise AI capabilities (LLMs, RAG, Agentic workflows), uphold engineering best practices, and mentor junior engineers. Key Responsibilities Technical Design & Development - Design and implement cloud-native microservices and Async backend architectures using Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, Async I/O). - Build and optimize scalable APIs, background worker services, and real-time event-driven systems using Confluent Kafka. - Drive performance tuning, distributed caching with Redis, and structured data transformation pipelines (including JSON, Avro, XSLT, and XML/XSD processing). - Follow and contribute to engineering standards, conduct code reviews, and apply comprehensive testing strategies (Pytest / unittest). AI & Generative Engineering Solutions - Design and integrate Enterprise AI capabilities, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, and agentic workflows, into production backend environments. - Develop deterministic pipelines for context retrieval, enterprise search, structured prompt engineering, and function-calling integrations. - Implement evaluation, logging, and guardrail frameworks for AI/LLM microservices to ensure reliability, low latency, and security. Dev Ops, Infrastructure & Observability - Implement secure, scalable CI/CD pipelines (using Git Hub Actions) and manage infrastructure via Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform). - Handle containerization (Docker) and deployments on cloud infrastructure (GCP Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, Artifact Registry, Eventarc). - Integrate full-stack monitoring and observability systems using New Relic, Cloud Logging, and Cloud Monitoring. Team Collaboration & Stakeholder Management - Mentor junior engineers on software design, Async Python patterns, and emerging AI frameworks. - Collaborate with product managers, cross-functional teams, and client stakeholders to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. Mandatory Skills Programming & Core Frameworks - Expert-level Python: Advanced proficiency in FastAPI, Pydantic (Pydantic Settings), and Async I/O. - Event-Driven Architecture: Strong hands-on experience with Confluent Kafka for high-throughput messaging. - Testing & Quality: Advanced expertise in unit/integration testing frameworks (Pytest, unittest). AI & LLM Integration - Hands-on experience integrating LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or open-source models via vLLM/Ollama) into production microservices.
