The Role

This is a fully remote position. We currently have remote engineers based in the UK, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

We’re looking for an experienced (or senior) backend engineer to join our engineering team. You’ll work alongside a highly technical and motivated team, supported by a Product Manager and Engineering Manager.

The engineering team is central to everything we do at Plentific, tackling challenging problems such as online payments, quoting, invoicing, booking, search/scoring algorithms, ETL, data pipelines, in-app messaging, real-time notifications, and fraud prevention. 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 project requirements and write technical documentation.
• Develop 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 extract data.
• Optimize APIs and database queries for performance.
• Participate in code reviews.
• Debug and resolve bugs across applications.
• Refactor existing code to meet new requirements and improve features.
• Document code, algorithms, and APIs technically.
• Assist in drafting end-user manuals.

Experience and Qualifications

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

We are rapidly progressing with our ambitious plans and eager to grow our team to manage over 2 million properties globally. Join us and help shape the future of property management worldwide. Our offerings include:

• A competitive compensation package
• Flexible working environment
