Full-Stack Developer (Backend-Focused) Python Stack

Full-Stack Developer (Backend-Focused) — Python Stack

Kuvaka Tech | Indore, Vijay Nagar | On-site | 1+ Years | ₹4–5 LPA CTC

The Work

Youre building systems that power AI workflows—REST APIs that handle concurrent requests, databases that dont lose data, deployments that dont wake you up at 3 AM. You understand that backend isnt just about making things work; its about making them work reliably.

What Youll Own

You wont be writing microservices in a vacuum. Your APIs feed mobile apps, web interfaces, and integrations. Your database decisions matter. Your deployments get reviewed. Your code runs in production, and youre the one who fixes it when it breaks.

What youll do:

• Design and build REST APIs using Python, Django, and Django REST Framework
• Build secure authentication and manage data access layers
• Write database queries that dont crawl and schema migrations that dont panic
• Deploy to AWS (ECS, EC2, RDS) and manage infrastructure
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines—automate what you can, own what you cant
• Debug production issues with speed and clarity
• Collaborate with frontend engineers, product managers, and designers
• Write code youre comfortable shipping

Frontend work exists, but youre being hired because the backend is the constraint. Frontend will evolve. The API is permanent.

What Youll Do

• Design, build, and maintain REST APIs across multiple client products (AI platforms, SaaS, enterprise systems)
• Write efficient SQL queries, optimize indexes, and manage relational databases under load
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, and role-based access control
• Deploy backend services using Docker and containerized workflows
• Build CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment
• Debug production issues and ship fixes with minimal ceremony
• Collaborate closely with frontend teams on API contracts and data flow
• Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews
• Participate in sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives

What Were Looking For

Non-negotiable:

• 1+ years of production experience with Python and Django
• Demonstrable skills building and shipping REST APIs with Django REST Framework
• Strong SQL fundamentals: write efficient queries, understand indexes, optimize slow queries
• Direct experience deploying production code and debugging issues in production
• Git workflow and ability to write clean, reviewable code
• Understanding of authentication, authorization, and basic security patterns

Solid to have:

• PostgreSQL experience (we use Postgres, not MySQL)
• Docker containerization for local development or deployment
• Basic AWS knowledge (EC2, RDS, or similar—you dont need IAM mastery)
• Experience with relational database design and migrations
• Familiarity with asynchronous task queues (Celery or similar)
• Previous work on multi-user or multi-tenant systems

Nice to have:

• Experience consuming third-party APIs (payment processors, webhooks, integrations)
• Redis or caching layer optimization
• GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD pipeline experience
• Prior experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Hands-on AWS beyond basics (Lambda, CloudWatch, environment setup)

The Stack

• Language: Python (3.8+)
• Framework: Django + Django REST Framework
• Database: PostgreSQL (primary), Redis (caching & task queues)
• Frontend: React.js (you own the API contract, not the UI)
• Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS)
• Deployment: Docker, GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Task Queue: Celery for background jobs

Youre not required to know all of these on day one. You need Python and Django solid, and everything else grows from there.

Why Kuvaka

Your code runs in production, not in staging. The APIs you build power healthcare applications, manufacturing workflows, and enterprise platforms—real users, real uptime requirements, real stakes.

You work with senior engineers who care about architecture and code quality. You get exposure to AI integration, cloud infrastructure, and working across multiple verticals in one role. Your growth is tied to shipping, not time served.

How to Apply

Send your resume, GitHub profile, and links to work youre proud of to [HIDDEN TEXT]. If youve shipped APIs, show us. If youve optimized databases, show us. Were reviewing code, not just credentials.
