Sr. Backend Developer

Senior Backend Development Position at Evolution

Evolution is looking for a Senior Backend Developer who is passionate about building high-performance microservices and possesses a "DevOps mindset."

You will be responsible for developing complex asynchronous systems using FastAPI and Taskiq, ensuring they are optimized for our Kubernetes environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Microservices Development: Build and maintain scalable, asynchronous backend services using FastAPI.
• Distributed Task Management: Architect and optimize background task processing using Taskiq (with Redis/RabbitMQ).
• K8s Integration: Work closely with the infrastructure to ensure services are "Kubernetes-ready"—configuring health probes, resource limits, and utilizing Helm for deployments.
• Database Management: Design and optimize data models using MongoDB and the Beanie ODM.
• Observability: Instrument services with Prometheus and Loki to maintain high visibility into system performance.

Requirements:

• Education - B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Professional Python - 3+ years of experience, with a deep mastery of asyncio and modern type-hinting.
• FastAPI Ecosystem - Proven experience building production-grade APIs with FastAPI and Pydantic.
• Kubernetes Literacy - Comfortable working within a K8s environment (EKS/Standard K8s), including understanding Pod lifecycles, Service meshes, and HPA.
• Asynchronous Patterns - Experience managing distributed worker queues and handling task idempotency.

What We Value:

• Performance-First Thinking - You know how to profile Python code and eliminate blocking calls in async loops.
• Clean Code - A commitment to PEP 8, robust unit testing (pytest), and maintainable architecture.
• DevOps Passion - You don't just "throw code over the wall". You care about how your code runs, scales, and fails in a containerized environment.
