Jobbeschreibung

Description

The company helps people get their personal data off broker sites. We're a fully remote team, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, hiring a Senior Backend Engineer who'll work directly with the founders on product and technical direction. This position is open to candidates based in Latin America.

The role is backend-focused: Python and Django, with light frontend work when it makes sense (HTMX, the occasional React component). You own features start to finish, including the unglamorous part where you make sure the thing works in production a week after it ships.

What you'd work on in your first quarter:

You'd be writing code in our Django backend, which powers both the consumer dashboard and the B2B platform. Expect a mix of:

• New features for the APIs that power our consumer dashboard and customer reporting
• Performance and reliability work in our Celery and RabbitMQ pipelines
• Integrations with third-party services like payment providers and identity providers (Stripe, WorkOS SSO)
• Code review, both giving and receiving, on a small backend team of other Senior Engineers

We don't have a rigid roadmap of "first 30 days, first 60 days" — you'd pick up real work in your first week.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

• 6+ years building production web applications
• 3+ years with Python and Django
• Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis in production (day-1 pipeline scope)
• Working knowledge of CS fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, SQL, system design
• Strong written communication; comfortable working async across time zones
• Self-direction and follow-through

Strong plus:

• DRF and/or django-ninja
• Postgres tuning and query analysis
• Kubernetes and AWS
• Stripe, WorkOS SSO, or other third-party API integrations
• HTMX, React, or both
• Background in consumer privacy or adjacent industries
• Experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, etc.)
