## About the Role

* Extensive experience with Django 6 and Django Rest Framework (DRF).

 * Strong understanding of security best practices and access-control systems.
 * Ability to conduct comprehensive code reviews and produce detailed technical reports., * Experience with large-scale production environments.
 * Prior involvement in developing or reviewing role-based access control systems.

## Description

This is a review-and-report engagement: the deliverable is a written, severity-ranked findings report - our team implements any resulting fixes, so no changes to our codebase are expected from the reviewer. A detailed reviewer brief (scope, file map, and what's already tested) is provided on engagement, and an NDA is required before repository access.

Responsibilities

 * Perform an in-depth code review to identify security vulnerabilities, access-control gaps, and performance risks (identify and recommend - implementation is handled by our team).
 * Assess the role- and country-based permission system and flag weaknesses in how it's enforced.
 * Review the authentication and access-control composition across modules, with attention to how the pieces interact - not just each in isolation.
 * Evaluate production-scale query paths for N+1s and scalability issues that won't surface at small dev scale.
 * Compile a severity-ranked findings report - each finding with location, the issue, and a recommended fix. This report is the primary deliverable.
