Python Automation Developer

About the Role

We are looking for a highly capable Python Automation Developer who thrives on solving complex problems and streamlining workflows. In this role, you will not only write new automation scripts but also read, debug, and optimize existing codebases. We value logical thinking and the ability to articulate why a specific approach (e.g., multithreading vs. multiprocessing) was chosen just as highly as the ability to write the code itself.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable Python automation scripts.
• Consume, integrate, and manage external services using APIs (CRUD operations, JSON parsing).
• Read, comprehend, and debug existing code to identify bottlenecks and fix bugs.
• Interact with databases using SQL to extract and manipulate required data.
• Maintain source code quality through Git version control and participate in code review workflows.
• Clearly communicate logic, architectural choices, and technical roadblocks to the team.

Skill Requirements & Competencies

Non-Negotiable Skills

• Aptitude & Logical Problem Solving: Exceptional ability to break down complex problems. The ability to explain the logic behind your code is strictly required.
• Core Python Mastery: Deep understanding of decorators (e.g., writing execution time loggers), list/dictionary comprehensions, and advanced string operations. (would be good to know packages such as heapq or equivalent which aids problem solving using pre implemented data structures).
• Concurrency & Parallelism: Practical experience with asyncio, multithreading, and multiprocessing, including knowing exactly when and why to use each.
• APIs & Data Handling: Proven experience calling endpoints, parsing JSON data, and working with any standard API framework (e.g., FastAPI, Flask, Django REST).
• SQL Database Skills: Intermediate ability to write SQL queries to fetch, filter, and manipulate data. NoSQL exposure is a good to have.
• Code Comprehension & Debugging: Ability to jump into an existing codebase, understand its flow, and efficiently troubleshoot bugs.
• Strong Communication: Must be able to articulate technical concepts, code, approach etc. clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Intermediate Skills

• Version Control (Git): Competent in creating/modifying repositories, branching, committing, pushing, and managing Pull Requests.
• Command Line / Scripting: Intermediate proficiency in Bash/Shell scripting for environment navigation and basic OS-level automation.
