Senior Staff Engineer (Backend)
Most Senior Backend Developer | Microservices & API Engineering | Enterprise Systems
Role Overview
Nagarro is seeking a Senior Backend Developer to join our dynamic team of cloud-native engineers. In this role, you’ll design, build, and scale out next-gen distributed systems while embracing an agile mindset to solve our customers’ most complex challenges. We’re looking for a driven, solution-oriented practitioner who thrives at the intersection of technology and innovation.
About You
You have 10+ years of enterprise-grade backend experience and a proven track record of mastering architectures at scale. Your expertise spans Python/Java, microservices, and cloud-native deployment—but you’re also curious about emerging AI trends that could disrupt tomorrow’s systems.
Why It Matters
-
You’ll be part of a Globally distributed squad building:
- Modular, resilient, high-performance backend systems
- Event-driven architectures with real-time capabilities
- RESTful + GraphQL APIs for critical business workflows
-
We need your insight to suggest breakthroughs and roll out secure, scalable solutions in a fast-moving tech landscape.
Key Responsibilities
Backend Architecture & Implementation
- Partner with cross-functional teams (DevOps, QA, Product Owners) to design scalable microservices & APIs
- Develop fault-tolerant systems using Python + FastAPI/Flask for performance-critical components
- Optimize legacy system performance and transition to cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes → Serverless)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Data & Distributed Systems
- Architect and maintain databases (Snowflake, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch) for low latency/high throughput
- Implement real-time processing via message queues (Amazon SQS) or event bus architectures
DevOps & Security
- Orchestrate CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Octopus) from unit tests to zero-downtime deployments
- Enforce OAuth2, RBAC, and data encryption best practices to ensure secure system boundaries
Technical Criteria (Must-Have)
Technical Skills
- Python Backend Expertise:
- REST APIs — FastAPI (primary) or Flask
- Strong grasp of concurrency, async/await (peek at
FastAPIasync decorators)
- Microservices & Cloud:
- Docker/Kubernetes deployments (secrets, scaling, self-service tools)
- AWS expertise (VPCs, Lambda, Step Functions, Serverless defaults)
- Distributed Systems:
- Elasticsearch/OpenSearch for multilingual, real-time search
- Snowflake or DynamoDB structures (partitioning, sharding)
- Testing & Monitoring:
- JUnit + integration test observability with Prometheus/Grafana
- Load test designs to validate SLA compliance
Qualifications (Absolute Elevator Pitch)
✔ 10+ years building backend systems in production—a portfolio of serverless-to-microservices transition stories ✔ Java expertise if adding modularity, or a focus on Java-based backend interfaces (when needed) ✔ Passion for cloud-native best practices and keeping systems observable, SLO-bound, and cost-aware ✔ Proficiency with DevOps toolchains (Terraform, ARM/CloudFormationoptional but +1) ✔ Security-first mindset, applying OWASP principles and PSA migrations
