We are seeking an experienced Senior Python Developer to join our engineering team and contribute to the development of mission-critical backend services and REST APIs. The role focuses on building reliable, deterministic Python-based services that execute complex business rules and scorecard-driven logic, primarily deployed on Azure ML Studio.

This position requires strong procedural Python programming skills, solid experience in API development and cloud integration, and a foundational understanding of data engineering and data science concepts. You will work closely with cloud-native Azure components, including Azure Blob Storage and Azure SQL Database, to deliver secure, scalable, and high-quality backend solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Python-based backend services implementing complex business rules.
• Write clean, readable, and well-structured procedural Python code aligned with enterprise standards.
• Ensure correctness and reliability through robust error handling and validation.
• Develop secure, performant, and well-documented RESTful API endpoints.
• Deploy and manage Python APIs on Azure ML Studio across multiple environments.
• Integrate backend services with Azure Blob Storage for logging, diagnostics, and audit purposes.
• Implement structured logging to support debugging and compliance requirements.
• Design and implement efficient data access layers using Azure SQL Database.
• Ensure optimal query performance, data consistency, and proper transaction handling.
• Develop and maintain XML and JSON parsers for large-scale data processing.
• Process and transform data based on predefined scorecards and business rules.
• Write and maintain unit tests to ensure code quality and stability.
• Participate in peer code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues during hypercare periods, including root cause analysis.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field (Required)
• Master’s degree or specialization in Computer Science or Software Engineering (Preferred)
• Proficiency in English (Required)

Experience & Technical Skills

• Minimum 6 years of professional software development experience, primarily using Python.
• Strong experience writing procedural Python code with deterministic business logic.
• Experience developing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Hands-on experience deploying Python APIs on Azure ML Studio.
• Working knowledge of Azure Blob Storage.
• Experience with relational databases, particularly Azure SQL Database.
• Understanding of cloud-native concepts such as scalability and monitoring.
• Basic knowledge of data science concepts and scorecard-based processing.
• Experience with enterprise applications (Required).
• Experience with digital or mobile applications (Preferred).
