Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer (Python/Django) to join our growing team in Kathmandu. In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain backend systems that power high-performance applications for global clients. You’ll collaborate closely with frontend developers, mobile developers, and project managers to build robust, scalable, and secure server-side solutions.

The ideal candidate is passionate about backend architecture, API design, and clean, efficient code—and is eager to contribute to meaningful projects that make an impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop RESTful and GraphQL APIs using Django and Django REST Framework (DRF).
• Build scalable and maintainable backend architectures with efficient data models.
• Integrate third-party services, APIs, and authentication systems.
• Manage databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) and write optimized queries.
• Implement background tasks and asynchronous workflows using Celery or similar tools.
• Ensure high performance, reliability, and security of backend services.
• Write clean, testable, and reusable code following best practices.
• Collaborate with frontend and mobile teams to deliver seamless integrations.
• Use Git and Azure DevOps for version control, CI/CD pipelines, and team collaboration.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical discussions and documentation.
• Work with AI efficiently rather than completely in order to make the best systems possible.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience developing backend systems with Python and Django.
• Strong understanding of Django REST Framework, ORM, and API development.
• Proficiency with SQL databases and query optimization.
• Experience with Celery, Redis, or RabbitMQ for background task management.
• Familiarity with Docker, containerization, and cloud deployment (Azure, AWS, or similar).
• Solid understanding of authentication, authorization, and security best practices.
• Experience integrating with frontend and mobile applications.
• Knowledge of Git, Azure DevOps, and CI/CD workflows.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Solid understanding of where AI is at the moment and how it can be utilized best.

• Work on innovative, large-scale projects with international clients.
• Collaborative, growth-oriented, and supportive work environment.
