Jobbeschreibung

Work and Travel Guide is a young, fast-moving startup building a product that helps people explore the world – smarter and easier. We care deeply about:

• great engineering
• strong fundamentals
• shipping high-quality software quickly

We also work heavily with AI technologies and AI-assisted development workflows to stay at the cutting edge of innovation.

If you want real ownership, autonomy, and the chance to shape the architecture, coding workflows and best practices – all while staying flexible with your working hours and working from wherever you want – this is for you!

Tasks

• Build and evolve backend systems and APIs in Django
• Own architecture decisions: scalability, reliability, maintainability
• Implement and refine CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
• Apply clean code practices, design patterns, and strong system design principles. Refactor major parts of the codebase for better long-term maintainability using modern tools such as Claude Code
• Collaborate on frontend work in React (feature work, integration, performance, DX)
• Use and improve AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., faster iteration, better quality, automation)

Requirements

• Strong experience in full-stack development, with a backend focus
• Solid knowledge of architecture, design patterns, and clean-code practices
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD (build pipelines, testing, deployments, release processes)
• Heavy testing and QA practices
• Comfort working across the stack: React + Django
• Familiarity with modern development workflows and tooling, including AI-assisted development
• Bonus: exposure to (or curiosity for) Go and/or Rust as we expand parts of the system

Benefits

• 100% Remote – work from anywhere (literally)
• Maximum flexibility – set your own schedule; we measure outcomes, not hours
• High autonomy & ownership – you’ll influence decisions and build end-to-end
• Work directly with the CTO – tight feedback loops, fast decisions, real technical leadership
• Your ideas matter – small team, big impact, fast iteration
• Retreats / workations – we meet regularly in inspiring places
• Strong engineering culture – clean architecture, clean code, reviews, testing, observability
• AI at the core – we build with modern AI tooling and integrate AI where it makes sense
• Stock option program – for employees who stand out with their great talent and effort

in order to apply, send us both your resume and an introduction paragraph about you, telling us why you think you are a standout candidate and great fit for the role.

Note: the earliest start for this role is in March 2026.
