If you enjoy platform work, solving performance challenges, and building resilient systems, this will be a strong fit., You'll be a strong backend engineer who can operate at senior level in a small team., * Strong Python backend development (Django / Flask / FastAPI)

  • REST APIs, microservices or distributed systems patterns
  • Postgres / SQL
  • Solid SDLC ownership (design * build * release)

Nice to have
