Description
Our client is looking for an experienced developer to contribute to re-implementing a Python/Django monolith as an ecosystem of (primarily) Python microservices. You will be working parallel to an established development team who will continue to maintain the existing system as you and your colleagues implement the next generation replacement as directed by the systems Architect.
Your understanding of the underlying principles of microservices architectures means you will be comfortable operating semi-autonomously, solving problems described in high-level functional terms rather than prescriptive implementational detail. In particular, you are conscious of the risks to the integrity of API contracts that arise when API implementers and API users breach a separation of concerns by collaborating too closely.
Requirements
- 2+ years of software development.
- Familiarity with Python 3, which will be the primary development language you use in this role.
- SQL/Database knowledge is essential
- Experience working with and integrating external REST APIs.
- Experience working with one or more of the leading cloud platform (GCP, AWS, Azure)
- Experience with serverless architectures (Lambda, Fargate, Cloud Run, et al.)
- Experience with message queues (SQS, PubSub, RabbitMQ, etc.) and data pipelines (Kafka, Beam, Kinesis, etc)
- You have experience with microservices.
- Understand how the web works, REST APIs, OpenAPI spec/Swagger, GraphQL, and the difference between REST and RPCs.
- Understand TDD, BDD, unit testing, integration testing and when to use them.
- Experience with back end web application frameworks (Django, FastAPI, Rails, Laravel, etc)
- You are familiar with FastAPI
Nice to have
- Google Cloud (Cloud Functions, AppEngine, PubSub, Stackdriver, etc.)
- Docker, Kubernetes
- Typescript, NodeJS, React, Vue, Babel, Vite, Webpack, etc.
- Go, Rust, C++, C,
- Terraform
Job Responsibilities
- Build and deploy backend services communicating over a range of APIs with other services.
- Write clean, well-designed, and reusable code.
- Test your code on an appropriate level and cooperate with the Developers in Test in the creation of testing frameworks
- Be an engaged team member involved in every part of the software life cycle, from inception, through to delivery.
- Take part in specification workshops where we define functional and non-functional characteristics of our systems
- Demonstrate a good understanding of the separation of concerns, APIs as contracts, and the importance of preventing the implementation details and side effects from crossing the API boundary.
