GSSTech Group is looking for a seasoned Senior Python Engineer to design and run high-performance backend systems in Dubai. If you have deep experience in API development and managing complex data pipelines, this is your chance to step into a high-impact technical role.
Role Overview
You will be at the heart of GSSTech Group’s data-driven operations. This isn’t just about writing code; it’s about owning the entire lifecycle—from building secure microservices and optimizing database performance to managing production deployments. You will collaborate closely with front-end teams to ensure our user-facing features are backed by rock-solid logic.
The team values engineers who write clean, tested, and maintainable code. You will spend your days working with FastAPI, Flask, and Django, and managing asynchronous services that handle high concurrency. If you enjoy the challenge of big data technologies like Kafka and Spark, this role offers the perfect environment to test your skills at scale.
Key Technical Requirements
To be successful here, you need more than just a passing knowledge of Python. This is a senior-level position that demands hands-on technical proficiency:
- Core Engineering: 5+ years of dedicated professional experience in Python backend development.
- API Mastery: Strong skills in FastAPI or Flask, with solid exposure to Django.
- Concurrency: Proven ability to work with
asyncioand high-concurrency systems. - Data Handling: Expertise in SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra) along with ORMs like SQLAlchemy.
- System Architecture: You need to understand microservices architecture and how to secure them using OAuth 2.0, JWT, and API gateways.
- DevOps Mindset: Experience in maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI) is expected.
- Data Pipelines: Hands-on work with ETL pipelines and big data stacks (Spark, Hadoop, Kafka).
Candidates with experience in banking, fintech, or highly regulated industries will have a significant advantage. While not strictly mandatory, familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP and containerization tools like Kubernetes is highly preferred.
What You Need to Bring to the Table
Beyond the code, this role requires a sharp problem-solving mindset. You will be expected to produce clear documentation, participate in rigorous code reviews, and maintain data integrity across all transformation processes. Excellent communication skills are essential, as you will be interfacing with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
