Job summary

Novakid School is building an online English learning funnel and seeks a backend-focused engineer to own Python services and server-side integrations that power registration, booking and visitor accounts. You will implement API design, data tracking, and ad-platform integrations with a mix of frontend work in React/TypeScript as needed.

You’ll work end-to-end in a backend-first environment, owning production services, debugging incidents, and supporting A/B tests.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of production backend development in Python.
• Strong backend fundamentals: API design, relational databases and SQL, caching, background jobs, and integrating third-party APIs.
• Production debugging experience: logs, error tracking, finding the root cause of an issue with an Express service.
• Working frontend skills: enough TypeScript and React to deliver a feature end-to-end.
• Fluent English.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain Python services and APIs behind the funnel: registration, booking and the visitor account
• Build and own server-side integrations with ad platforms (Meta CAPI, TikTok Events API and similar): event delivery, deduplication, retries and monitoring
• Own attribution on the backend: end-to-end visit tracking, UTM persistence, and diagnosing gaps in V2L/V2B data
• Keep services fast and reliable: caching, query optimization, debugging server-side rendering in our layer
• Investigate production incidents through Sentry and see them through to resolution
• Support A/B testing on the server side: feature flags, rollouts, and cleanup after experiments
• Ship frontend changes in React/TypeScript when a feature needs it
