Job Description
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.
