Entri.app – Backend Developer – Python/Django

Job Description :

We’re Entri, a fast-growing, EdTech startup from Kochi and we’re on the lookout for an extremely self-driven Backend product engineer to join our Product Team.

Although we have learned that the number of years of experience is not a reliable indicator of the person’s skill or productivity, we believe someone with 1-3 years of development experience would be best suited to adapt quickly to our challenging requirements and pace.

If this sounds interesting to you, please continue reading.

“Continuous Learning” is part of our company culture and we’ll expect you to grow 10x in a year’s time. There’s a good chance this might end up as one of your most challenging and fulfilling gigs so far. From our side, we’ll be sure to give you all the space and freedom you’d need to do the best work of your life.

Job Description :

We design our front end to be 100% localized, as lightweight as possible, and able to run dozens of different experiments simultaneously – by holding the complexities in the backend. Your primary focus will be the development of all server-side logic, ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end. You will also be responsible for integrating the front-end elements built by your co-workers into the application; therefore, a basic understanding of front-end technologies is necessary as well.

Responsibilities :

– Writing reusable, testable, and efficient code

– Develop maintain and version APIs for the front-end to interact with the system

– Integration of user-facing elements developed by front-end developers with server side logic

– Optimization of the application for maximum speed and scalability

– Implementation of security and data protection

Skills And Qualifications :

– Good knowledge in Python, with knowledge of at least one Python web framework (Preferably Django)

– Familiarity with some ORM (Object Relational Mapper) libraries (Especially Django ORM)

– Good understanding of server-side templating languages such as Django templates or Jinja 2

– Basic understanding of front-end technologies, such as JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3

– Knowledge of user authentication and authorization between multiple systems ,servers, and environments

– Understanding of fundamental design principles behind a scalable application

– Able to create database schemas that represent and support business processes

– Strong debugging skills

– Proficient understanding of Git

– Basic understanding and experience in Devops (CI/CD, AWS Services etc.)

The above list is for a very basic understanding of what we do as backend engineers. But at the end of the day, we need to go to any extent to make sure our users love the things we build for them. It’s completely fine if you don’t know how something is done; all we care is that you have the right attitude to roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, experiment, and then figure it out yourself.
