[VKS] Python Backend Engineer with Data Science Focus

Project – the aim you’ll have

Our client is a gaming company established to reform the national gaming system. Operating under the principle of exclusivity, its mission is to provide games responsibly, mitigate gambling-related risks, and ensure player protection while preventing fraud.

The project involves developing a highly available, low-latency service that integrates with the front-end, the content management system (CMS), and a recommendation engine.

The outcome will be a REST API capable of delivering a personalized front-end layout configuration to each end customer in real time.

Position – how you’ll contribute

In this role, you will collaborate cross-functionally within the company to define an appropriate CMS structure and support front-end integrations together with the relevant development teams.

The work builds upon an existing PoC implementation. Understanding both the implementation and the underlying concepts may require a basic data science background. As the objective includes defining front-end layout configurations, familiarity with modern front-end development practices will be highly beneficial for effective communication regarding the front-end and CMS system.

The core algorithms are provided by the data science team. Experience with data science-related development will support effective collaboration and a deeper understanding of the recommendation model.

Expectations – the experience you need

• Strong knowledge of the Python data science stack (NumPy, etc.)
• Experience in Python REST API development using FastAPI or similar frameworks
• Hands-on experience with Redis
• Practical experience with Docker
• Experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Full-stack understanding, including integration between front-end and back-end systems
• Ability and proven experience in building high-availability back-end systems

Additional skills – the edge you have

• Understanding of digital marketplace personalization
• Experience with content management systems (e.g., Drupal)
• Familiarity with front-end development for web and native iOS/Android applications
• Basic understanding of front-end design principles
• Ability to evaluate recommendation system performance, for example through A/B testing using statistical methods
