Job description

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying production-ready software using Python (and frameworks such as Django) and some familiarity or willingness to work with modern front-end technologies (React, Typescript) when needed.


• Proven track record of delivering high-quality, reliable software. We appreciate engineers who explore side projects, contribute to open-source, or publish technical content, demonstrating a passion for continuous learning.


• Deep expertise in backend development. You understand API design, data modeling, performance optimization, and security best practices - while still keeping the user experience in mind.


• Versatility and willingness to learn. You're primarily focused on the backend, but you're comfortable stepping into front-end or infrastructure tasks when needed - whether its debugging a React component, fixing a security vulnerability, or helping optimize CI/CD pipelines.


• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, comfortable partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver seamless product experiences.

Benefits

• Generous health-insurance package with nationwide coverage, vision, & dental


• 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching


• Competitive PTO policy - we want our employees fresh, healthy, happy, and energized!


• Generous family leave policy after 8 months of continuous work


• Work from anywhere to facilitate your work life balance


• Apple laptop, large second monitor, and other quality-of-life equipment you may want. Technology is something that should make your life easier, not harder!

At Reserv, we value diversity in backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences and believe that diversity in viewpoints and critical thinking drives innovation, first-principles thinking, and success.
