Role Overview

At Synergie, we build production-grade backend systems across domains such as:

Scholarship and program management platforms
Field operations systems used in real-world environments
Health and telemedicine workflows

These are not basic CRUD systems. They involve:

Multi-tenant data handling
Role-based workflows and access control
Real-world operational constraints

We are looking for a backend engineer who is comfortable working with structured systems and real-world complexity, not just simple API development.

Team & Working Style

Small, focused engineering team (2 backend engineers + 1 mobile engineer)
Direct collaboration with the founding team
High ownership — engineers own features end-to-end
Close coordination with frontend and mobile teams

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain backend APIs using FastAPI
Design and manage databases using PostgreSQL and SQLAlchemy
Work on multi-tenant systems and role-based access control
Debug issues across API, business logic, and database layers
Handle edge cases and improve system reliability
Contribute to iterative feature delivery

How We Work

Small team with high accountability
Structured feature development with regular releases
Strong emphasis on debugging, correctness, and maintainability
Engineers are expected to understand how their code behaves in real-world and failure scenarios

Tech Stack

Python (3.10+)
FastAPI
PostgreSQL
SQLAlchemy
Alembic (migrations)
Redis (basic familiarity preferred)

What We're Looking For

Backend Fundamentals

Experience building APIs in Python (FastAPI, Django, or Flask)
Strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL preferred)
Ability to write efficient queries and manage data correctly

Problem-Solving & Debugging

Comfortable tracing issues across API, application logic, and database
Experience fixing real-world bugs, not just building features
Ability to debug using logs, queries, and reproducible test cases

System Understanding

Familiarity with authentication and authorization
Understanding of data consistency and error handling
Ability to think beyond happy path scenarios
Can clearly explain behavior in failure conditions

Ownership & Code Quality

Writes clean, maintainable, readable code
Pays attention to edge cases
Takes responsibility for correctness and quality

Good to Have

Experience with multi-tenant systems or data isolation
Exposure to workflow-driven systems
Basic system design knowledge
Familiarity with caching or Redis

Not a Fit If

You prefer only frontend or UI-heavy work
You rely heavily on trial-and-error coding
You avoid debugging complex issues
You focus only on making things work without understanding system behavior

Hiring Process

Intro discussion (background and experience)
Technical round (backend fundamentals and problem-solving)
Practical exercise (real-world API scenario)
Final discussion (deep dive into approach and thinking)

Why Join Synergie

Work on systems with real-world impact
Be part of a small, high-ownership engineering team
End-to-end responsibility from early on
Exposure to complex backend systems
