What You'll Do:

  • Lead backend design and development using Python, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability.

  • Mentor and guide a team of developers, review code, and enforce engineering best practices.

  • Optimize backend systems for performance, maintainability, and operational efficiency.
  • Produce technical documentation and ensure project knowledge is effectively shared.

What You Bring:

  • 6+ years in software engineering, with 4+ years hands-on Python development.
  • Proven experience leading backend teams and delivering complex projects.
  • Strong skills in FastAPI, RESTful APIs, PostgreSQL, and Docker.
  • Deep understanding of backend architecture, coding standards, and best practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and client-facing skills.
  • Ownership mindset with the ability to adapt in fast-paced environments.

Why This Role:

  • Lead challenging projects in a global, remote-first environment.
  • Collaborate with top-tier tech talent on cutting-edge solutions.
  • Directly influence product architecture and technical strategy.

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.
