Key responsibilities

• Own features and production issues across the RX order and prescription path: order ingest, Vetsource submit/status, refills, clinic/product lookup, notifications.
• Design and build FastAPI routers, Pydantic models, and async SQLAlchemy access as we collapse Django/DRF services into the new app.
• Help migrate data and behavior from multiple RDS instances into a single Postgres schema (audit, transform, validate, cutover).
• Convert batch/cron Django commands into ECS workers and stream consumers (SQS / Kinesis / Kafka).
• Integrate with OMS, Vetsource, PGR, SFMC, and related internal APIs without breaking existing contracts.
• Investigate production incidents: failed orders, status mismatches, partner API errors, missed emails/notifications.
• Write tests, add observability (logs, traces, alerts), and participate in code review and on-call for RX.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building backend services in Python
• Strong FastAPI (or equivalent async Python API) experience: routing, dependency injection, Pydantic, auth
• SQLAlchemy (async preferred) and PostgreSQL; comfortable writing and reviewing SQL
• Experience with Django / Django REST Framework — you will still support and migrate this codebase
• AWS basics: ECS or Lambda, RDS, SQS, API Gateway / ALB
• Comfort debugging distributed flows (HTTP + queues + partner APIs)
• Clear written communication for production investigations and design notes

Nice to have

• Alembic migrations, uv / modern Python packaging
• Event-driven systems: SQS, Kinesis, Kafka
• Healthcare / pharmacy / prescription, or other regulated order flows
• Step Functions, Redis, OpenSearch
• Terraform / GitLab CI
• Frontend familiarity with an internal ops dashboard (Next.js) is a plus, not required
