What are the responsibilities and job description for the Python Backend Developer, 7-years experience required position at Amphib Digital LLC?
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Python Backend Developer with 8 years of experience in software development, specializing in software-defined radios (SDR) and radio frequency (RF) communication. This is a strictly backend development role, requiring deep expertise in Python programming, signal processing, and Agile software development methodologies. The ideal candidate will have experience working in multi-Python environments, including Pyenv and Poetry configuration, and a strong background in Ubuntu-based Linux development. This role focuses on building and optimizing backend systems for RF communication applications, emphasizing GPU acceleration, real-time signal processing, and seamless module integration into current and future software pipelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain Python-based backend solutions for SDR and RF communication applications.
- Implement and optimize signal processing algorithms, waveform generation, and RF data analysis using Python.
- Work extensively in Ubuntu-based development environments, ensuring software compatibility, stability, and optimization on Linux systems.
- Maintain documentation, version control (Git), and CI/CD pipelines for efficient software deployment.
- Follow Agile development methodologies, participating in daily stand-ups, sprints, and code reviews.
- Work with SDR frameworks, with a primary focus on SoapySDR, followed by GNU Radio, Ettus USRP, and other SDR platforms.
- Develop Python-based APIs, libraries, and automation tools to streamline RF communication workflows.
- Integrate new software modules into existing and future software pipelines, ensuring compatibility, performance, and scalability.
- Utilize Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, PyQt, and scikit-signal for backend data processing and visualization.
- Configure and manage multi-Python environments using Pyenv and Poetry for dependency management and virtual environments.
- Leverage GPU acceleration (CUDA, OpenCL, or CuPy) to optimize real-time signal processing and computation-intensive tasks.
- Perform real-time data analysis, filtering, and transformation of RF signals.
- Develop robust unit tests, integration tests, and performance optimizations to ensure backend software reliability.
