Python Software Engineer | Django | API Development | DevOps

About this role

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.

Requirements
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.
