About the role

Skill College is an emerging EdTech startup headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Founded with the vision of democratizing quality technical education, the company offers a suite of online courses, live mentorship programs, and industry‑aligned projects. Over the past few years, Skill College has grown its student base to over 30,000 learners across India, partnering with leading universities and corporate trainers.

The organization prides itself on a culture of continuous learning, where engineers get to experiment with the latest tools while directly impacting the learning journeys of thousands of students.

The Engineering team at Skill College is the backbone of its digital platform. As a Backend Developer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the server‑side components that power the learning management system, real‑time assessment engines, and analytics dashboards. You will work closely with product managers, frontend developers, and data scientists to translate business requirements into robust, scalable APIs.

The role offers exposure to cloud‑native development, micro‑service architecture, and high‑traffic data pipelines, making it an ideal stepping stone for early‑career engineers aiming to become full‑stack architects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, test, and deploy backend services using Python and FastAPI.
  • Design and document RESTful APIs that integrate with frontend applications and third‑party services.
  • Model, query, and optimize PostgreSQL databases for high‑performance data access.
  • Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms, ensuring data security and compliance.
  • Write unit and integration tests to maintain code quality and reliability.
  • Monitor application performance, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and apply optimizations.
  • Participate in code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and adhere to coding standards.
  • Collaborate with DevOps to set up CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments.
  • Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge‑sharing sessions within the team.
  • Stay updated with emerging backend technologies and propose improvements to the existing stack.

Tech Stack: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, Git/GitHub, AWS (or similar cloud services), JWT/OAuth for security, and CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions.

Growth Path: Starting as a Backend Developer, you can progress to Senior Engineer, Tech Lead, or specialize as a Cloud/DevOps Engineer. Skill College encourages internal mobility, offering mentorship programs and regular skill‑upgradation workshops.

Why Join Skill College? You will be part of a purpose‑driven mission to transform education, work in a collaborative environment that values innovation, and receive a competitive salary with performance‑linked incentives. The flexible 10:30 AM‑7:00 PM schedule promotes work‑life balance, while the vibrant office at Iskcon, Ahmedabad fosters creativity and teamwork.

Technical questions 5
What is the difference between WHERE and HAVING clauses in SQL? Answer
Model answer: WHERE filters rows before any groupings are applied, while HAVING filters aggregated groups after GROUP BY has executed.
Explain SQL Window functions: ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), and DENSE_RANK(). Answer
Model answer: ROW_NUMBER() assigns unique sequential integers. RANK() assigns identical ranks to ties and skips ranks. DENSE_RANK() assigns identical ranks to ties without skipping rank numbers.
How do you handle NULL and missing values during data cleaning in Python/Pandas? Answer
Model answer: Use .isna().sum() to identify missing values. Impute with mean/median using .fillna() or remove with .dropna(subset=[...]) depending on variance impact.
What is the difference between Star Schema and Snowflake Schema in Data Warehousing? Answer
Model answer: Star Schema has denormalized dimension tables directly connected to the central Fact table. Snowflake Schema normalizes dimension tables into sub-dimensions to minimize redundancy.
How do you calculate MoM (Month-over-Month) growth in SQL? Answer
Model answer: Use LAG(revenue, 1) OVER (ORDER BY month) to fetch the previous month's revenue and compute (revenue - prev_revenue) / prev_revenue * 100.
Behavioural & HR questions 3
Why do you want to join Skill College as a Backend Developer?
Highlight Skill College's market reputation, recent tech innovations, and how your skills in Python directly solve their team's objectives.
Describe a challenging bug or academic project roadblock and how you resolved it.
Use the STAR method: Situation (project context), Task (what needed solving), Action (specific tools/logic applied), Result (quantifiable positive outcome).
How do you handle strict deadlines or sudden scope changes?
Explain your prioritization strategy, proactive communication with mentors/peers, and agile mindset.
