· Ensure compatibility, authentication, error handling, reliability, performance, and security across integrations.

· Investigate and resolve issues involving API communication, data synchronisation, external dependencies, and production behaviour.

· Maintain and optimise PostgreSQL queries, data models, indexes, and database interactions.

· Use Redis and background task systems for caching, sessions, queues, and asynchronous processing where appropriate.

· Improve application performance, scalability, caching, image delivery, and CDN behaviour.

· Write clean, maintainable, testable, and well-documented code, and improve existing code where necessary.

· Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions.

• Perform and support application deployments, and collaborate with other developers to improve deployment processes, testing, monitoring, and support.

Required skills and experience

· Practical commercial experience developing applications with Python.

· Experience with Celery or another asynchronous/background task system.

· Experience designing, consuming, and maintaining REST APIs or similar HTTP-based integrations.

· A good understanding of core web technologies, including:

o HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, and JSON o HTML/CSS and JavaScript fundamentals o Cookies, sessions, and caching

· Basic knowledge of Linux servers and the ability to work comfortably from the command line.

· Experience working with API-heavy architectures or integration platforms.
