## About the Role

You are an experienced backend engineer who is comfortable owning production software rather than focusing on one part of the development lifecycle.
You will bring:

 * Strong commercial software engineering experience building and supporting backend services in production.

 * Strong hands-on Python development experience.

 * Production experience with Django, including its request lifecycle, ORM, migrations, configuration, and testing practices.

 * Experience designing maintainable APIs and backend systems using sound REST, data modeling, and relational database practices.

 * Good knowledge of authentication and authorization, including common single sign-on patterns and secure API design.

 * Experience with automated testing, peer code review, continuous integration, and delivery practices.

 * Experience diagnosing application, database, networking, or performance issues in live environments.

 * An understanding of cloud-hosted applications and infrastructure as code, ideally within AWS.

 * A strong understanding of backend security risks and how to address them throughout the software development lifecycle.

 * The judgment to explain technical trade-offs clearly and work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues., You are an experienced backend engineer who is comfortable owning production software rather than focusing on one part of the development lifecycle.
