Job Responsibilities:
Python API Development
Design develop and maintain robust scalable and secure RESTful APIs using Python and relevant frameworks like Flask Django or FastAPI.
Design develop and maintain robust scalable and secure RESTful APIs using Python and relevant frameworks like Flask Django or FastAPI.
- Implement API endpoints to handle data requests processing and responses efficiently adhering to industry best practices and standards.
- Write clean welldocumented and testable Python code using unit tests and integration tests to ensure code quality and reliability.
- Collaborate closely with frontend developers to define API contracts data structures and communication protocols for seamless integration.
Paystack Integration:
- Deep understanding of Paystacks API documentation functionalities and integration processes.
- Implement secure and reliable payment processing using Paystacks API endpoints for various transaction types (e.g. card payments bank transfers USSD).
- Handle error handling retries and webhooks to ensure smooth payment flows and transaction management.
- Stay uptodate with Paystacks API updates and new features to leverage the latest capabilities.
Database Management:
- Design and manage database schemas using relational (e.g. PostgreSQL MySQL) or NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB DynamoDB).
- Write efficient SQL queries and database interactions to retrieve store and update data.
- Optimize database performance through indexing query optimization and caching strategies.
API Security:
- Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g. JWT OAuth) to protect APIs from unauthorized access.
- Apply security best practices like input validation sanitization and protection against common vulnerabilities (e.g. SQL injection crosssite scripting).
DevOps and Deployment:
- Deploy and manage APIs on cloud platforms (e.g. AWS Azure Heroku) or onpremise servers.
- Utilize containerization technologies like Docker to package and deploy APIs consistently across different environments.
- Configure and monitor API performance and health using logging monitoring and alerting tools.
- Participate in code reviews and collaborate with other developers to maintain code quality and consistency.
