• Containerised Deployment: Deploy and manage services in Docker containers using AWS Fargate and EC2, ensuring seamless integration and operational scalability.
• Technical Leadership: Offer expert guidance in Python development, Flask, SQLAlchemy, and database management. Provide insights into best practices and contribute to the overall technical direction of the project.
• Independent Task Execution: Assume full ownership of assigned tasks, from inception through to
deployment, with minimal supervision.

Skills and Qualifications:
• Experience: A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in Python development, with extensive use of Flask.
• Database Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL, with significant experience in database optimisation, particularly in clustered environments such as AWS Aurora.
• Containerisation and Cloud: Strong practical experience in deploying and managing containerised
applications using Docker, AWS Fargate, and EC2.
• Microservices Architecture: Thorough understanding of microservices architecture, with a focus on
performance, scalability, and best practices in cloud environments.
• Analytical Skills: Exceptional problem-solving capabilities, particularly in the context of system
performance optimisation and troubleshooting.
• Autonomy: Demonstrated ability to work independently and efficiently manage workload with minimal oversight.
• Communication: Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and collaborate effectively with the broader team.

• Cloud Services: Familiarity with additional AWS services, such as Lambda, RDS, and S3, is advantageous.
• CI/CD Experience: Experience with continuous integration and deployment processes and tools.
• Agile Practices: Familiarity with Agile methodologies, including participation in sprints and collaborative development efforts.
