Job summary

The Cruise Brothers is seeking a Django Developer to join our backend team. Based in Warwick, RI or Palm Beach Gardens, FL with hybrid work and remote options. You’ll own server-side features, APIs, and integrations for our CBAT platform used by nearly 10,000 travel agents.

You’ll work with a frontend developer to deliver real, user-facing functionality, ensure code quality, and participate in modernization efforts of a mature Django codebase.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building production web applications with Python and Django, or comparable experience in another mature framework
• Comfortable in a large, established codebase, and able to find your way around code you didn't write
• Solid on relational data modeling and PostgreSQL
• Enough front-end (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) to finish your own features. We have a dedicated front-end developer, but you shouldn't be blocked on them
• You read documentation before asking, and you verify AI-generated code before shipping it
• Nice to have: payments, accounting systems, travel, telephony/SMS, or anything with money in the database

Responsibilities

• Backend features across bookings, commissions, agent management, messaging, and reporting
• API endpoints and integrations with outside travel systems: cruise booking engines, vendor feeds, payment and SMS providers
• A hook and automation platform that needs a second pair of hands
• Modernizing a mature codebase as a steady drumbeat, not a big-bang
• Own tickets end to end: reproduce, fix, test, ship
• Growing into ownership of a specific slice of the platform
