Senior Software Developer

This successful startup is looking for a talented back-end web developer, ideally using Python and Django, who already has an eye towards a good user interface, and would like to develop their skills in TypeScript / JavaScript and component-based UI libraries and frameworks, such as SolidJS and React.

The company operates in health-tech and produces apps used by patients as part of a guided programme developed by medical professionals. Their tech stack includes Rust, Python, Django, TypeScript, and SolidJS. They also use compiler technology for an integral DSL.

You will bring:

1. Good back-end, server-side skills using a language such as Python and a framework such as Django. Adaptable candidates with similar skill sets developed using other languages will also be considered.
2. Experience with a range of programming languages for projects of some scale, ideally web frameworks/libraries with different levels of opinionation – and your own views on those.
3. Experience developing large scale production web applications, serving volumes of users.
4. A user-focused mindset that shapes your existing development work and influences your interest and attention to front-end development. An awareness that look-and-feel contributes to usability, and the desire to get things “just right” through iteration and following design plans closely.
5. An interest in being part of a multi-skilled team, applying your skills to a range of technical areas towards a common goal.

Any additional experience you have developing mobile apps (iOS and Android, whether hobbyist or professional, native or progressive), in startups, in the medical/healthcare sector, with WebRTC or similar, with Rust, compiler technology, or DSLs would be welcome.
