Python Software Engineer | Django | API Development | DevOps

We're a small, fast-moving software team building web platforms and the desktop tooling that goes with them. We're growing a dedicated platform team and looking for a versatile Python engineer who's happy owning a feature end to end — from a backend API down to the client that consumes it. You'll work across a server-rendered web application and a cross-platform desktop application, integrating third-party services, handling sensitive data carefully, and shipping reliably. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build and maintain backend services and REST APIs in Python / Django. - Model and evolve relational data, write migrations, and keep the data layer clean. - Extend a cross-platform desktop application built in Python. - Integrate third-party APIs, webhooks, and OAuth / service-account auth flows. - Handle authentication, encryption of sensitive data, and secret management thoughtfully. - Own the full lifecycle: tests, containerized builds, CI/CD, and deployments. - Write clean, tested code and review your teammates' work. WHO YOU ARE - You take ownership. You're comfortable picking up an ambiguous problem and driving it to a shipped result without a lot of hand-holding. - You communicate clearly and write things down — async-friendly and remote-ready. - You care about getting the details right, especially around security and data handling. - You're pragmatic: you reach for the simplest solution that works before reaching for a complex one. - You enjoy working across the stack and aren't precious about which layer a problem lives in. - You're a fast learner who's energized by a small team where your work has visible impact. EXPERIENCE WE VALUE - 3+ years of professional Python, with real production experience in Django (or a comparable web framework). - Solid relational database skills (PostgreSQL or similar) — modeling, querying, migrations. - Comfortable with Docker and modern CI/CD workflows. - Experience integrating third-party APIs, webhooks, and auth flows. - A good grasp of authentication and security fundamentals — tokens, encryption, secret management. - Strong testing habits and confident with Git-based collaboration. Bonus points for: - Building or packaging desktop applications. - Experience with async task queues (e.g., Celery / Redis). - Cloud infrastructure (AWS or similar) and networking basics. - A track record of working effectively on small, autonomous teams.
