## Description

Here at BTI360, we've built a culture that's passionate about developing software engineers. Software doesn't build itself. People do. In fact, teams of people do. That's why our primary focus is on developing better craftsmen, better teammates, and better technical leaders. By putting people first, we're not just giving our teammates more opportunities to grow, we're also raising the bar of the software we ship. BTI360 previously has been voted 10 years in a row as a TOP Place to Work by the Washington Business Journal.

We're looking for multiple Backend Python Engineers to join our growing team, and we have opportunities available for engineers across a wide range of experience levels.

What you will do in this role:

 * Work closely with teammates and stakeholders in a Lean Agile environment to build mission-critical production applications focused on data discovery and analysis
 * Participate in code reviews, system design discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives
 * Leverage modern build tools, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality and delivery speed
 * Design, implement, and test backend services and APIs using reactive programming concepts for production applications
 * Integrate with cloud services and data platforms to expose high-value data through secure, performant interfaces
 * Leverage DevSecOps pipelines, containers, and modern deployment tools to deliver software efficiently and reliably
