Python Developer

Summary:

Build, deploy and operate Python services on Linux. The role demands strong Linux fundamentals — including sudo, systemd, shell scripting and permissions — alongside production-grade Python engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend services and automation tooling in Python 3.x.

• Build and consume RESTful APIs using FastAPI / Flask / Django.

• Operate services on Linux (RHEL / Ubuntu / CentOS); manage users, groups, sudoers and file

permissions.

• Write robust Bash / shell scripts for deployment, scheduling (cron / systemd timers) and

housekeeping.

• Package, deploy and monitor services using systemd units, journald and standard Linux tooling.

• Diagnose production issues using strace, lsof, top, iotop, ss, tcpdump and log analysis.

• Collaborate with DevOps on CI/CD, container builds and server hardening.

Must-Have Skills

• 7+ years of production Python development (3.9+).

• Strong Linux administration: file system, processes, networking, systemd.

• Deep understanding of sudo and /etc/sudoers — privilege delegation, NOPASSWD rules, security

implications.

• Proficient in Bash scripting, cron, logrotate and SSH-based automation.

• REST API frameworks: FastAPI, Flask or Django REST Framework.

• Oracle database experience — PL/SQL, stored procedures, query tuning; cx_Oracle / oracledb

driver and SQLAlchemy ORM.

• Virtual environments, pip / poetry, packaging and dependency hygiene.

• Git-based workflows and code-review discipline.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Containerization — Docker, Docker Compose, basic Kubernetes.

• Configuration management (Ansible) or IaC (Terraform).

• Message brokers — RabbitMQ, Kafka, Redis Streams.

• Observability stack — Prometheus, Grafana, ELK.

• Async Python (asyncio, aiohttp) and concurrency tuning.

• Cloud exposure — AWS or Azure for compute, storage and secrets.
