Python Backend Engineers: Audit a FastAPI Microservices Exam
Department: Participant Recruitment
Location: United States
Employment Type: Contract
What We're Researching
We're hiring Python developers to review and refine an assessment designed for intermediate FastAPI engineers. Ensuring technical accuracy in certification exams is critical for accurately evaluating candidate skills. Your expertise will help us identify ambiguous questions and validate complex code-based grading rubrics.
How It Works
You will review a structured set of multiple-choice, short-answer, and coding questions focused on FastAPI microservices. During this asynchronous task, you will audit distractors for unambiguous correctness and verify that code prompts align with their corresponding rubrics. You will also be asked to suggest edge test cases for coding endpoints to ensure robust candidate evaluation. All feedback will be recorded in a structured JSON format.
Who This Is For
We welcome seasoned Python backend engineers, API developers, and microservices architects. You should have strong hands-on experience building production APIs using FastAPI, Uvicorn, and dependency injection patterns. Professionals who have previously mentored junior developers, conducted technical interviews, or designed engineering assessments are highly encouraged to apply.
What You'll Do
Audit multiple-choice options for technical accuracy and unambiguous distractor choices
Verify coding question prompts against their provided grading rubrics
Suggest edge test cases for API endpoint implementations
Review asynchronous communication concepts and API gateway patterns
Who Should Apply
Professional experience building backend services with Python and FastAPI
Familiarity with ASGI servers, dependency injection, and Pydantic data validation
Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and microservices architecture
Comfortable reviewing and modifying structured JSON data
Compensation
