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**

We’re 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. You’ll 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 You’ll 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 workers—Celery \+ 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 We’re 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 Node’s 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 management**Good 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 don’t just tolerate AI tools — we expect you to use them well. Here’s 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 yourself**Debugging \& 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 you’d treat a peer review comment — worth reading, not

blindly applying**Documentation \& 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 faster**Architecture \& Design Thinking**
• Use AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) as a sounding board when designing service boundaries,
• choosing between queue strategies, or evaluating tradeoffs in database schema design
• Ability to prompt for pros/cons, edge cases, and failure modes before writing the first line of code**Testing**
• Generate unit test skeletons and edge case suggestions using AI, then complete and own the test
• suite
• Use AI to identify untested paths or simulate API error scenarios**What This Is Not**
• Pasting AI output without reading it
• Using AI to mask gaps in fundamentals
• Relying on autocomplete to write logic you don’t understand

The bar is still correctness, maintainability, and ownership. AI just helps you get there faster.

• *What “3 Years Experience” Means Here**

This isn’t a junior role with a 3\-year label. You should be able to

• Take an integration requirement and ship it end\-to\-end without being walked through it
• Spot bad API design before it becomes a maintenance headache
• Debug a failing Celery task, a slow query, or an unhandled Promise rejection without asking where
• to start
• Have an opinion on when not to use a microservice
• Know when AI\-generated code is good enough and when it needs a complete rewrite**Stack We Work With**

• *Python**: Django · DRF · Celery **Node.js:** Express.js / NestJS · BullMQ

• *Common:** PostgreSQL/MongoDB ·

Redis · Docker · REST APIs · Payment \& Shipping APIs · Microservices · GitHub Copilot / Cursor / Claude Code
