Industry & Sector: We operate in the fragrance and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, building a SaaS platform that powers digital commerce, inventory orchestration, and analytics for brands and distributors. Our platform delivers scalable, low-latency services that connect commerce workflows with real-time data and integrations across retail ecosystems.

About The Opportunity

We’re hiring a remote Backend Engineer focused on Python to design, build, and operate core SaaS services that drive order management, product catalog, and integration layers. You will join a cross-functional team shipping production-grade microservices, improving developer velocity, and scaling systems for high-availability, multi-tenant use.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Design and implement scalable, secure Python microservices (APIs, background workers) that support multi-tenant SaaS workflows.
  • Build and maintain RESTful APIs and contract-driven integrations for internal and third-party systems (e.g., ERP, payment gateways, marketplaces).
  • Optimize data storage and querying patterns with PostgreSQL and caching layers to meet latency and throughput SLAs.
  • Containerize services, define deployment manifests, and collaborate on Kubernetes-based CI/CD pipelines for reliable rollouts.
  • Implement observability: structured logging, metrics, tracing, and automated alerts to maintain production reliability.
  • Partner with product and QA to drive API versioning, automated testing (unit/integration), and performance tuning.
