Senior Python Engineer

N-iX is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who thrives in building scalable, cloud-native systems. You’ll bring deep Python expertise, strong software design principles, and a solid background in distributed system patterns. This role demands hands-on experience with event-driven architectures and cloud-native AWS services. You’ll help shape critical backend services and infrastructure that are the foundation for our platform.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build scalable backend systems using Python and cloud-native architectures
• Apply object-oriented principles to develop maintainable and modular code
• Architect and implement distributed systems with high availability and fault tolerance
• Build and operate event-driven architectures using tools like Amazon SNS, SQS, EventBridge, and Step Functions
• Leverage AWS-managed services (e.g., Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway) to deliver reliable and cost-effective solutions
• Participate in architectural design discussions and influence technical direction
• Write clean, testable code and provide thoughtful code reviews
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and deliver solutions that scale

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong Python skills, with a deep understanding of object-oriented software design
• Experience designing and operating event-driven architectures in production
• Proficient with AWS cloud-native services, including Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, EventBridge, and Step Functions
• Deep understanding of distributed systems, including data consistency, messaging patterns, and failure handling
• A collaborative mindset—you enjoy working closely with others, value team success over individual heroics, and help create an inclusive environment
• Proactive and curious—you take initiative to explore, solve problems, and continuously learn
• A natural mentor and team builder—you care about helping those around you grow
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain ideas and technical details
