Data Engineer / Full Stack Engineer (Python, Django, Nuxt, AWS)
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Data Engineer / Full Stack Engineer with strong experience in Python-based backend development, modern frontend frameworks, data engineering, and AWS cloud services. This role will be responsible for building and maintaining scalable applications, data pipelines, APIs, and cloud-native services that support enterprise platforms and automation ecosystems.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in Django/DRF, Nuxt/Vue, AWS serverless and infrastructure services, and data transformation frameworks including AWS Glue. This individual should be comfortable working across backend systems, frontend applications, cloud infrastructure, and data engineering workflows in a distributed Agile environment.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Python, Django, and Django REST Framework (DRF).
Build and document RESTful APIs using DRF / OpenAPI / Swagger.
Implement robust data validation and API response modeling using Pydantic.
Develop secure authentication and authorization mechanisms using django-rest-knox, OAuth, and MSAL/Azure AD integrations.
Create and maintain modern frontend applications using Nuxt 4, Vue 3, and TypeScript.
Manage frontend state using Pinia and build responsive UI solutions with Tailwind CSS and Nuxt UI.
Design and optimize data engineering pipelines for ingestion, transformation, validation, and delivery of structured and semi-structured data.
Build and support ETL/ELT workflows using AWS Glue, Pandas, NumPy, and other transformation tools.
Develop data transformation processes to improve data quality, consistency, and downstream usability.
Implement event-driven and asynchronous architectures using AWS SQS, SNS, Lambda, and EventBridge.
Build and support serverless applications using AWS Lambda and Mangum (ASGI adapter).
Manage caching and session layers using Redis / ElastiCache.
Design and optimize relational database solutions with PostgreSQL 14+, including schema design, indexing, and query performance tuning.
Develop reusable and modular adapter patterns for structured data entities and integrations.
Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK (Python) and Terraform.
Support containerization and deployment workflows using Docker and Amazon ECR.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, including automated testing and deployment.
Ensure software quality through unit, regression, functional, and load testing practices.
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and Agile ceremonies with distributed teams.
Follow AWS security and operational best practices, including IAM, Secrets Manager, WAF, and secure credential handling.
