Job summary

Zipliens is a leading lien resolution company building data-heavy applications for personal injury law firms. We are hiring a Software Development Engineer to join our team and help scale our Python/Django and React stack.

You'll own features end-to-end, work with product and operations, and apply ML/LLM tooling to extract structure from documents while keeping security and privacy at the forefront. Join a growing team delivering real-world impact.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of software development experience in production.
• Working experience with Python/Django (preferred) or a comparable framework (Node.js, Rails, Laravel).
• Working proficiency in React.
• Working SQL and PostgreSQL, including writing and reasoning about queries against large tables.
• Hands-on AWS experience - EKS/EC2, RDS, S3, and queueing (SQS or similar).
• Proficiency in at least one technical area and a functional understanding of the applications your team owns.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to take on unfamiliar work.
• Clear written and verbal communication; you'll be explaining technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain features across our Python/Django backend and React frontend, writing code that is clean, readable, and consistent with our team's conventions.
• Develop and ship features, shepherding your own work from first commit through review, QA, and deployment.
• Operate what you build: troubleshoot production issues, debug your services in AWS, and follow security practices appropriate to sensitive legal and medical data.
• Build and maintain backend services and data processing workflows over large datasets, automating what's currently manual.
• Work with product and operations to turn acceptance criteria into features our staff and clients actually use - asking questions where they're unclear, and pushing back where they're wrong.
• Work with internal stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions.
• Contribute to architecture and scalability improvements under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Participate in code reviews, both giving thoughtful feedback and acting on it.
