Backend Developer

Job Description Backend Developer (Python/Django & Node.js) Role: Backend Developer Experience: 3+ Years Type: Full-time Location: Ramanathapuram, Coimbatore About the Role Were looking for a Backend Developer who goes beyond writing functional code someone who thinks in systems, ships clean APIs, and takes full ownership of the backend. Youll work across Django and Node.js services, third-party integrations, payment infrastructure, and distributed microservices in a fast-moving product environment. We actively embrace AI-assisted development. You should be comfortable using AI tools as a force multiplier not as a crutch, but as a way to move faster, catch issues earlier, and ship with more confidence. What Youll Do Design, build, and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs using Django/DRF and/or Node.js (Express/NestJS) Architect and ship microservices with clear boundaries, async task handling, and fault tolerance across Python and Node.js services as needed Integrate third-party platforms logistics/shipping providers, payment gateways (Stripe, Razorpay, PayU, or similar), and external SaaS APIsBullMQ/Agenda (Node.js side)for async processing, queues, and scheduled jobs Set up and manage background workersCelery + Redis/RabbitMQ (Python side), Own database design in PostgreSQL/MongoDB schema design, indexing, query optimization Write well-tested code with unit and integration tests (pytest / Jest) Collaborate with frontend and DevOps on API contracts, deployments, and CI/CD pipelines Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards Use AI coding tools to accelerate development, reduce boilerplate, and improve code quality What Were Looking For Must-haves (Python track): Strong hands-on Python and production experience with Django and DRF Experience with Celery or equivalent task queue systems Must-haves (Node.js track): Strong hands-on JavaScript/TypeScript Production experience with Node.js and a framework like Express.js or NestJS Experience with async/event-driven patterns Promises, async/await, EventEmitter Familiarity with BullMQ, Agenda, or similar for background job processing Comfortable working with npm/yarn, module bundling, and Nodes package ecosystem Common requirements (both tracks): 3+ years of backend development experience Experience shipping payment integrations (checkout flows, webhooks, refunds, reconciliation) Experience with shipping/logistics API integrations (Shiprocket, Delhivery, EasyPost, or similar) Solid understanding of microservices design service boundaries, inter-service communication (REST/gRPC/message queues) Proficiency with PostgreSQL or MongoDB and Redis Comfortable working with Docker for local dev and deployments Strong grasp of authentication patterns JWT, OAuth2, session managementGood to have: Working knowledge of both Python and Node.js (full-stack backend versatility is a strong plus) Experience with FastAPI alongside Django, or NestJS alongside Express Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Cloudflare) Exposure to event-driven architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ) Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) AI-Augmented Development What We Expect We dont just tolerate AI tools we expect you to use them well. Heres what that looks like in practice: Code Generation & Completion Use GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code to scaffold boilerplate, generate serializers/DTOs, write repetitive CRUD logic, and speed up model/migration work in Django or Node.js(Mongoose/Prisma/TypeORM) Prompt AI tools effectively to generate first-draft integration code for payment and shipping APIs, then review and harden it yourselfDebugging & Code Review Use AI assistants to explain unfamiliar error traces, suggest fixes for failing tests, and review your own code before pushing Treat AI-flagged issues the same way youd treat a peer review comment worth reading, not blindly applyingDocumentation & API Contracts Auto-generate docstrings/JSDoc, OpenAPI/Swagger specs, and README drafts using AI tools, then refine them to production quality Use AI to produce or validate Postman collections and API test cases fasterArchitecture & Design Thinking Use AI Job Description Backend Developer (Python/Django & Node.js) Role: Backend Developer Experience: 3+ Years Type: Full-time Location: Ramanathapuram, Coimbatore About the Role Were looking for a Backend Developer who goes beyond writing functional code someone who thinks in systems, ships clean APIs, and takes full ownership of the backend.
