Job Description
Job Title : Software Development Engineer – Python
Location : Peoria OR Champaign - IL
Duration : Full Time
We are looking for a Software Engineer with a minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in building scalable, robust software applications using Python.
Note: We are specifically seeking a Python Software Developer/Engineer—someone who writes production-ready, clean, modular Python code and understands software design patterns, backend development, and database architecture—rather than a Python user/scripting user.
Key Responsibilities
Software Application Development: Design, develop, test, and deploy production-grade applications, modules, and REST APIs using Python.Database Design & Management: Build, query, and optimize relational and/or non-relational databases connected to Python backends.Code Quality & Architecture: Write clean, readable, modular, and reusable Python code adhering to OOP, SOLID principles, and proper software engineering practices.System Optimization: Analyze application performance, debug bottlenecks, and optimize database queries and backend workflows.Testing & Version Control: Write unit tests, perform integration testing, and maintain code versioning through Git.Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional product, architecture, and engineering teams to turn feature requirements into technical solutions.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related technical field from a Tier-1 / Premium Institute.
Core Python Expertise: Minimum 2+ years of dedicated experience in software development with Python (deep understanding of data structures, OOPs, asynchronous programming, modules, and packaging).
Database Experience:
Strong hands-on experience interfacing Python with databases using ORMs (e.g., SQLAlchemy, Django ORM) or native drivers.Practical knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis), including writing complex SQL queries and indexing.Backend / Web Frameworks: Proficiency with Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask.Software Engineering Fundamentals: Strong problem-solving skills, knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and system design basics.Development Tools: Proficient with Git, Linux environments, Docker, and RESTful API integration.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
Experience with message queues or event streams (e.g., RabbitMQ, Celery, Kafka).Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP) and CI/CD pipelines
