Apply if you’re excited to:

• Build and maintain high-quality software solutions
• Implement, test, deploy, and monitor features with precision and purpose
• Work across the full stack, from CSS and HTML to databases and DevOps.
• Collaborate with international teams to enhance and improve our products
• Apply proven design patterns and best practices to ensure scalability, maintainability, and performance
• Architect, deploy, and operate microservices-based systems on AWS Cloud
• Design, document, and consume RESTful APIs securely

About you:

• A bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• 5+ years of overall IT industry experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or mentorship role
• Expertise in Python for production-grade solution development
• Strong understanding of front-end technologies (React, Next.js)
• Professional communication skills, both written and spoken, in English
• Familiarity with modern software architectures, data engineering pipelines, and cloud platforms (AWS)
