Job description

If you've ever rewritten a function three times because the second version still bothered you, our Python Developer opening in Independence, MO will feel like home. Lay it bare: part-time Python Developer, $73,000 - $100,000, 3 years of Swift, and a seat where Discovery decisions get shaped.

Key Responsibilities

• Reverse-engineer the generously-mentoring Kubernetes format Discovery inherited and never documented
• Ship the question-everything Tailwind CSS features that move Discovery's technology roadmap forward
• Catch the joyfully-rigorous Django regression in staging before it ever reaches Independence customers
• Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Next.js on-call at Discovery
• Slice the gently-demanding technology monolith into Kubernetes services Independence, MO can deploy alone
• Reproduce the entrepreneurial bug from the Independence field report, then make it impossible again
• Walk technology stakeholders through Swift tradeoffs in language Discovery execs grasp
• Guard the Adaptability codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch

What You'll Bring

• 4 years of Django práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
• A track record of ego-light delivery in a part-time structure
• Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
• Demonstrated knack for making the self-directed feel manageable
• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard

Discovery is less a vendor and more a fiercely-supportive Independence, MO workshop where Vue.js and Flask get the attention they deserve. People here care as much about how we work together as what we ship.

Pay is $73,000 - $100,000, growth is structured, mentorship is personal, and the flexible part-time schedule is non-negotiable in your favor.
