Maintenance and development of an existing high-load Python service and its data contracts

Ensuring high implementation quality through comprehensive test coverage

Validating every change against real production traffic before it goes live

Solid Python fundamentals: OOP, dataclasses, standard library

Confident with type hints and static type checking

Basic experience with pydantic: declaring models and validating incoming data

Docker and an understanding of containerization

Practical testing experience with pytest: unit and integration tests, parametrized cases, mocking a dependency

Comfortable with Git and working in a team branch/MR flow

Basic SQL and ability to read someone else's code before writing your own

Proactivity: raising blockers early, asking questions instead of guessing, following existing conventions

CI/CD pipelines, GitLab CI in particular
