Python Backend Developer - Latin America

think bridge is how growth-stage companies can finally turn into tech disruptors. They get a new way there - with world-class technology strategy, development, maintenance, and data science all in one place. But solving technology problems like these involves a lot more than code. That’s why we encourage think ’ers to spend 80% of their time thinking through solutions and 20% coding them. With an average client tenure of 4+ years, you won’t be hopping from project to project here - unless you want to. So, you really can get to know your clients and understand their challenges on a deeper level. At think bridge, you can expand your knowledge during work hours specifically reserved for learning. Or even transition to a completely different role in the organization.

think bridge is a place where you can:

• Think bigger – because you have the time, opportunity, and support it takes to dig deeper and tackle larger issues.
• Move faster – because you’ll be working with experienced, helpful teams who can guide you through challenges, quickly resolve issues, and show you new ways to get things done.
