Software Engineer – Python/Django

Nestor Services
Gurugram, Haryana, India

We’re hiring a Software Engineer with strong Python and Django skills for a product engineering team in Gurugram. The team wants engineers who write clean, efficient backend code and understand how it behaves in production.

What You Will Work On:

  • Develop, maintain, and optimise backend services using Python and Django
  • Build and integrate RESTful APIs powering consumer-facing and internal platforms
  • Work with NumPy and Pandas for data processing and reporting pipelines
  • Debug, profile, and improve performance of production systems
  • Collaborate with product, data, and infrastructure teams on scalable architecture decisions
  • Write clean, well-documented code and participate in structured code reviews
  • Assist in the deployment and maintenance of server-side components

What We Are Looking For

  • Must-have: 2–5 years of backend development experience with Python as the primary language
  • Strong, production-level knowledge of Django — not just familiarity
  • Solid understanding of REST API design, authentication, and database interactions
  • Experience with PostgreSQL and/or MySQL in production
  • Comfortable with Git and agile team workflows

Strong differentiator (not a dealbreaker, but will move you to the top):

  • Hands-on experience with microservices in production — inter-service communication (REST, gRPC, Kafka/RabbitMQ), data consistency across services
  • Immediately available or serving a notice period of 15 days or less

Good to have:

  • Experience with NumPy and Pandas in a real data context
  • Backend performance profiling and query optimisation
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and containerisation (Docker / Kubernetes)

Hiring process

  • Profile review
  • 45-minute online technical assessment (Python, Django and databases)
  • Technical interviews with the team
