Python Backend Developer

Location: Hyderabad (Hybrid / On-site)

Type: Full-time

About the Role

At Seraphix, you'll be the one making sure our systems run fast, scale smoothly, and stay reliable. You'll work on real projects that power products — not internal demos or throwaway code.

You'll be designing APIs, setting up architectures, connecting data pipelines, and handling the backend logic that keeps everything running. You'll have plenty of space to experiment, make decisions, and learn new technologies along the way.

We keep things simple: fewer meetings, more code, more ownership.

What You'll Work On

• Designing and building scalable backend systems using modern Python frameworks
• Creating well-structured APIs and integrating them with web and mobile apps
• Managing authentication, background jobs, and async tasks where needed
• Handling deployments, monitoring, and keeping production smooth
• Working closely with frontend and design teams to make sure everything connects properly
• Automating workflows and testing for better reliability
• Exploring new backend patterns and tools to make the stack faster and cleaner

The Environment

We use a mix of modern backend tools — Python, SQL and NoSQL databases, containerized environments, and popular API frameworks.

You'll also touch tools for caching, message queues, background tasks, and continuous deployment.

If you've worked with cloud services (AWS, GCP, or similar), or enjoy setting up automation, that's a big plus.

We're not tied to one framework or platform — we pick what fits best for each project.

What You Should Already Know

• 2 to 4 years of experience building production backends with Python
• A solid understanding of ORM-based data modeling and migrations
• Hands-on experience with REST API design and security patterns
• Comfort with testing, debugging, and version control workflows
• Working knowledge of Linux systems and command-line tools
• Some experience with async processing, background tasks, or queues
• Optional but great: experience with Docker, CI/CD, or real-time communication tools

What You'll Get Here

You'll have space to build and ship things that actually matter.

You'll work in a small, supportive team that values autonomy over micromanagement.

You'll get to learn continuously, share ideas, and experiment with new technologies in a low-pressure, high-learning environment.

We move fast, focus on quality, and always leave time to improve what we build.

Compensation

₹25,000 to ₹35,000 per month, depending on skill and experience.

You'll Fit In If

You like taking ownership instead of waiting for directions.

You enjoy solving backend problems cleanly and efficiently.

You're curious about new tech, enjoy optimizing systems, and prefer clarity over chaos.

You care about code that's simple, testable, and built to last.
