About the role

About Us

At Digital Forms, we help companies grow through digital transformation — from process optimization and automation to AI and custom software development. Our technology team designs and builds the solutions that drive this change: scalable systems, data platforms, integrations, and products that make a real business impact.

We work with international clients across industries, focusing on long-term, high-quality engineering that supports business growth. Every line of code we write serves a clear purpose — to make technology practical, efficient, and ready for scale.

The Role As a Senior Back-End Engineer, you’ll play a key role in designing and building the systems that power our clients’ transformations. You’ll work on challenging, large-scale projects — from custom SaaS platforms to complex integrations — with modern technologies and high autonomy.

You’ll collaborate closely with our technical leads, contributing to system architecture, implementing best practices, and delivering robust, maintainable back-end solutions. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who wants to deepen their expertise, take ownership of key parts of a system, and work in an environment that values quality and thoughtful engineering.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

* Build & Deliver: Design, develop, and maintain scalable back-end systems and APIs in Python (Django, FastAPI), ensuring high performance and reliability.

* Collaborate: Work closely with front-end developers, DevOps engineers, and business analysts to deliver complete, production-ready solutions.

* Contribute to Architecture: Participate in architectural discussions and propose improvements that enhance scalability, maintainability, and security.

* Ensure Quality: Write clean, well-documented code, contribute to code reviews, and promote engineering best practices.

* Optimize Performance: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, ensuring stability and efficiency at scale.

* Deploy & Monitor: Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and observability improvements.

* Learn & Grow: Continuously improve your skills, exploring new technologies and patterns that make our solutions better.

Must-Have Qualifications

* Strong Python Experience: Solid hands-on experience with Python and modern frameworks (Django, FastAPI).

* Cloud Experience: Practical knowledge of AWS services and deploying applications in cloud environments.

* System Design: Proven ability to design, implement, and maintain modular, scalable systems and APIs.

* Databases: Strong understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL or MySQL) and experience with ORMs.

* CI/CD & Git: Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) and version control best practices.

* Problem Solving: Ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions with minimal supervision.

* Team Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and experience working in agile, cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

* Experience with asynchronous/event-driven systems (Celery, RabbitMQ, Kafka).

* Knowledge of Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools.

* Familiarity with Docker and container-based deployments.

* Experience with monitoring and logging (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).

* Understanding of NoSQL or in-memory databases (MongoDB, Redis).

What We Offer

* Work on complex, international projects with tangible business impact.

* Competitive compensation based on experience and contribution.

* Full remote work setup with flexible hours.

* A strong engineering culture focused on long-term quality, not just delivery speed.

* Continuous learning and mentorship from experienced leads.

Highlights

If you are a passionate technologist who is ready to take the next step and build something lasting, we encourage you to apply.
