Senior Python Developer (FastAPI)

As a Senior Python Developer at Remotebase, your primary responsibilities will include developing and maintaining high-quality APIs using FastAPI, optimizing applications for speed and scalability, and conducting thorough code reviews. You will collaborate with product managers and front-end developers, translating business requirements into technical specifications to enhance our innovative platform.

To qualify as a Senior Python Developer at Remotebase, you should have over five years of professional experience in software development, specifically in backend programming. You need strong knowledge of Python and web frameworks like FastAPI and Django, experience with RESTful APIs, and familiarity with cloud services such as AWS and Azure.

Preferred experience for the Senior Python Developer role at Remotebase includes asynchronous programming in Python, understanding of Agile methodologies, and proficiency in containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with Ruby on Rails and ASP.NET would also be beneficial.

Remotebase is committed to the professional growth of its Senior Python Developers by offering insane learning and growth opportunities. We encourage our team members to stay updated with the latest trends and technologies, contributing ideas for process improvements to foster a culture of continuous learning and development.

Remotebase offers a fully remote work environment for its Senior Python Developer position. You’ll have the flexibility to decide your work schedule, making it easier to balance your professional and personal life while contributing to our innovative projects from anywhere.

FastAPI is known for its high performance, ease of use, and automatic generation of API documentation. When asked about its advantages, highlight its asynchronous capabilities, built-in validation, and how it simplifies the development of RESTful APIs, making it an ideal choice for modern web applications.

To ensure code quality, I regularly conduct code reviews and use automated testing frameworks. I also adhere to coding standards and best practices, and I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that is easy for others to understand and extend.

In my previous roles, I have utilized AWS services like EC2 and S3 extensively to host applications and manage data. I am familiar with Azure's offerings as well, and I understand how to deploy, scale, and monitor applications in cloud environments to leverage their full potential for flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

I typically focus on optimizing database queries, implementing caching strategies, and minimizing the size of assets like images and scripts. Additionally, I analyze the application's performance metrics continuously to identify bottlenecks and refactor code as needed to improve load times.

Debugging complex systems requires a systematic approach. I start by reproducing the issue and then use logging and monitoring tools to gain visibility into the application's behavior. I isolate components and analyze interactions to determine the root cause before applying fixes and verifying the resolution.

I have significant experience with Docker for creating isolated environments for application deployment. I use Docker to manage dependencies and configurations, ensuring consistency across development, testing, and production. Additionally, I am familiar with Kubernetes for orchestrating container deployment and scaling.

I have designed and implemented applications using microservices architecture, which allows for greater modularity and easier scaling. I believe in leveraging RESTful APIs for communication between services, and I ensure that each service is independent, allowing for faster deployment and updates.

I use project management tools to organize my tasks and prioritize them based on deadlines and business impacts. Regular check-ins and team communication through tools such as Slack or video calls also help keep everyone's priorities aligned in a remote setting.

Testing is critical in the development process as it ensures code quality and prevents bugs from reaching production. I integrate unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end testing into my workflow to verify functionality at every stage of the development cycle.

Key skills for a Senior Python Developer include strong proficiency in Python and frameworks, a deep understanding of RESTful APIs and microservices, excellent problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to work collaboratively in a remote environment while communicating effectively with team members.
