Employment Type : Full-Time

Reporting To : Head of Operations

About the Role

The Back-End Lead is a senior engineering leadership role responsible for backend architecture, API engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps automation, security, performance, CI / CD governance, and production readiness across all client divisions — Academy internal systems, Digital Agency delivery, and Client Labs MVP incubation.

This role demands deep technical mastery of Python, Django, Django REST Framework, (DRF), PostgreSQL, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront, IAM, Route 53), Docker, GitHub Actions, CI / CD pipelines, CloudWatch monitoring, and the ability to architect scalable, secure, and maintainable systems.

Unlike trainer roles, this position is entirely delivery- and architecture-focused, leading real client and internal product engineering initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

1. Backend Architecture & System Design

Architect end-to-end server-side systems using Python, Django, and DRF.

Define API contracts, micro-endpoints, data schemas, and versioning strategies.

Establish backend architecture patterns including :

Modular apps and reusable services

Service-layer design (serializers, managers, domain logic)

Caching strategies (Redis awareness)

Async task flows (Celery / RQ awareness)

Implement enterprise security practices : JWT / OAuth2, CSRF, CORS, RBAC, rate

limiting.

Create OpenAPI / Swagger documentation pipelines.

2. Cloud Infrastructure (AWS) & Deployment Ownership

Architect and manage production-grade deployments using AWS :

EC2 for compute

S3 for static / media assets

RDS (PostgreSQL) for scalable database hosting

CloudFront for CDN distribution

Route 53 for DNS & domain routing

IAM for secure identity & access control (least-privilege policies)

CloudWatch for logs, server metrics & alarms

Configure and harden Nginx + Gunicorn stacks for production.

Implement SSL / TLS, HTTPS-only endpoints, secure headers, and monitoring.

3. DevOps, CI / CD & Automation

Build and maintain automated pipelines using GitHub Actions and AWS

CodePipeline / CodeBuild.

Implement CI / CD for :

Backend unit tests (PyTest)

Integration tests

API regression workflows

Docker image builds and deployment

Oversee Dockerisation of backend environments using Docker & Docker Compose.

Establish infrastructure-as-code patterns (awareness of Terraform / CloudFormation

preferred).

4. Database Design, Optimisation & Scalability

Lead schema modeling & migrations in PostgreSQL.

Optimise ORM queries, indexing strategies, and caching.

Design multi-environment DB workflows (dev → staging → prod).

Implement data archival, backups, retention strategies, and PITR (RDS snapshots).

Ensure ACID compliance, referential integrity, and transaction safety.

5. Delivery Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Collaborate with Front-End Lead to ensure API alignment, response consistency, pagination, and error standards.

Work with BA / PM to translate business requirements into technical designs and sprint-ready tasks.

Partner with QA for test strategies, defect triage, regression cycles, and UAT.

Enable seamless integration with Digital Marketing, UX, CRM, and Analytics systems.

Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, demos, and retros.

6. Code Quality, Reviews & Governance

Conduct deep technical PR reviews for backend and full-stack developers.

Drive adoption of :

Domain-driven design principles

SOLID-inspired backend patterns

PEP8 compliance & linting

Logging, exception handling & observability standards
