This role is centered on designing, developing, and maintaining scalable software solutions for diverse clients, with a focus on backend services and APIs. You will work closely with engineering teams and clients to deliver robust applications, while making strategic architecture decisions that reduce technical debt and improve system efficiency. The position combines hands‑on software development with client engagement, mentoring, and internal knowledge sharing. You will contribute to establishing best practices, documentation, and thought leadership while operating in a collaborative, remote‑first environment. This role offers autonomy, exposure to cutting‑edge technologies, and the opportunity to influence both client projects and internal consulting standards. The environment values ownership, technical excellence, and professional growth.

Accountabilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs using Django, Python, and associated frameworks.
• Architect microservices‑based solutions and participate in strategic technical decisions.
• Collaborate directly with clients for demonstrations, feedback, and technical discussions.
• Review legacy systems to identify and remediate technical debt.
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to team best practices, documentation, and internal code templates.
• Conduct code reviews and ensure high‑quality standards across projects.
• Engage in thought leadership activities such as blog posts, webinars, or internal knowledge sharing.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building backend services with Django and Python.
• Strong understanding of Django ORM, querysets, and database optimization techniques.
• Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs (Django REST Framework preferred).
• Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and version control systems (Git).
• 3+ years of experience with Ruby on Rails, React, or equivalent web frameworks.
• Ability to independently scope and take ownership of features and projects.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to manage client expectations and collaborate with teams.
• Strong problem‑solving, analytical, and strategic thinking skills.
• Familiarity with unit testing, debugging, accessibility, and security compliance.
• Experience with DevOps tooling (AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary with bonus structure ($160K–$180K).
• Remote‑first culture with flexible work schedules.
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision) and 401(k) plan.
• Paid parental leave and family‑friendly policies.
• Autonomy and ownership over projects in a growing company.
• Opportunity to contribute to high‑impact client solutions and internal consulting practices.
• Professional development and mentoring opportunities.
