Company Description

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
