Our backend primarily uses Python and Django within a service-oriented architecture. Our tech stack includes Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, AWS, React.js, Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, Celery, Pandas, Numpy, Git, Jenkins, and Elasticsearch. We maintain a large but clean code base, emphasizing design patterns, readability, automated testing, maintainability, and extendability.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product owners, engineering managers, UI designers, and other engineers to define software requirements
• Write well-structured, testable, and readable code using appropriate design patterns
• Design, build, and maintain APIs, microservices, and data pipelines
• Design, normalize, and optimize relational databases
• Write complex SQL queries to retrieve data
• Optimize APIs and database queries for performance
• Participate in code reviews
• Debug and fix bugs across applications
• Refactor existing code to improve or add features
• Document code, algorithms, and APIs
• Assist in drafting end-user manuals

Experience and Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience, preferably with Python/Django
• Ability to work UK hours (+/- 3 hours)
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns
• Experience with relational databases and SQL optimization
• Passion for writing clean, modular, and reusable code
• Creative problem-solving with a can-do attitude
• Excellent communication skills, able to articulate technical concepts clearly
• Experience in technical documentation
• Experience managing junior team members

We are rapidly progressing with our ambitious plans and eager to grow our team to achieve our vision of managing over 2 million properties globally. Join us to shape the future of property management.
