The posting

DVT is a leading South African software engineering and technology consulting company. We place skilled engineers with major clients across varied industries.

We are growing our Python backend competency and looking for an engineer to join current and future engagements. In these roles you would design, build and maintain backend services; APIs, data layers, integrations and background processing — working closely with cross-functional teams to turn complex requirements into reliable, production-grade software.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and deliver backend services end-to-end — APIs, data layers, integrations and background jobs.
  • Build with FastAPI, Django or both depending on the engagement.
  • Write meaningful automated tests (unit, integration, contract) and maintain CI/CD pipelines.
  • Improve existing applications and take them to production standard — reliability, observability, security.
  • Pair with and mentor less experienced engineers on the team.
  • Work with data specialists, frontend engineers and business stakeholders on requirements and priorities.
  • Document design decisions and ensure knowledge transfer within the team.
  • Manage your own work within sprints: estimate, communicate, flag risks early.

Minimum Requirements

  • 3 to 5+ years of professional backend software engineering experience, with strong Python.
  • Strong experience with at least one of FastAPI or Django in production.
  • Solid SQL and relational database experience (PostgreSQL preferred).
  • Experience with async patterns, message queues (Celery, Kafka, RabbitMQ) and caching (Redis).
  • Experience with automated testing (pytest), Git-based workflows and CI/CD.
  • Docker and an understanding of how your code runs in production.
  • Cloud basics — AWS, Azure or GCP.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to work with technical and business stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

  • Cross-stack background — if your depth is in Node.js, Java, Go or Rust and you've moved to Python, that's a plus.
  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture experience.
  • AI/LLM backend integration — RAG pipelines, vector databases or LLM-serving APIs.
  • Structured logging and observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana).
  • Security awareness: OWASP, JWT, OAuth 2.0.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
