Freelancer – Python Full Stack Developer

Python Full Stack Developer

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Python Full Stack Developer with strong software engineering fundamentals, deep coding expertise, and a passion for building scalable applications. The ideal candidate should be capable of independently designing solutions, writing clean and maintainable code, conducting thorough code reviews, and solving complex technical problems with minimal reliance on generated code.

Note: This role requires engineers who can independently design, develop, debug, and maintain production-grade software. Reliance on AI-generated code for day-to-day development is not permitted. Candidates should possess strong coding fundamentals, problem-solving abilities, system design knowledge, and the ability to write, review, and troubleshoot code without AI assistance.

• This is a freelancing role with Hurix Digital.
• You will be working on a reputable US-based client project through Hurix Digital (on a third-party contract). This client is a pioneering AI organization focused on transforming enterprise AI through cutting-edge machine learning and data-centric solutions.  
• The expected commitment is 10 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities: 

● Design, develop, and maintain scalable applications using Python and modern full-stack technologies.

● Write clean, efficient, secure, and well-documented code following engineering best practices.

● Conduct peer code reviews and provide constructive feedback on code quality, architecture, performance, security, and maintainability.

● Identify technical debt and recommend improvements to coding standards and development processes.

● Develop automation scripts using Bash/Shell scripting.

● Build, deploy, and troubleshoot applications using Docker containers.

● Create and maintain automated test suites using pytest and unittest.

● Participate in architecture discussions, debugging, performance optimization, and root-cause analysis.

● Work within Linux environments and support CI/CD pipelines.

● Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions.

Required Skills

● Strong proficiency in Python with deep understanding of OOP, design patterns, and scripting.

● Full-stack development experience with modern web frameworks and APIs.

● Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized application development.

● Strong Bash/Shell scripting and command-line expertise.

● Experience with automated testing frameworks such as pytest and unittest.

● Ability to review code for quality, scalability, security vulnerabilities, and maintainability. ● Strong understanding of Git, branching strategies, pull requests, and CI/CD fundamentals.

● Comfortable working in Linux environments.

● Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Qualifications & Experience

● 8–12 years of software development experience.

● Experience building and maintaining production-grade applications.

● Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is an advantage.

● Experience mentoring developers and establishing coding standards.

● Strong understanding of software architecture and system design principles.

● FastAPI / Django – Experience building scalable REST APIs and backend services using modern Python frameworks.

● PostgreSQL & SQLAlchemy – Strong database design, query optimization, ORM usage, and data modeling expertise.

● React & TypeScript – Full-stack development capability with modern frontend frameworks and strong UI integration skills.

● Async Python – Hands-on experience with asynchronous programming, concurrency, asyncio, and performance optimization.

● Microservices Architecture – Designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining distributed services in cloud/containerized environments.

● Security Fundamentals – Understanding of authentication and authorization mechanisms including OAuth 2.0, JWT, RBAC, and secure coding practices.

● Monitoring & Logging – Experience with application observability, logging, metrics, alerting, and troubleshooting production systems.

● System Design – Ability to design scalable, resilient, and maintainable software systems with strong architectural decision-making.
