About the role

  • Design and build scalable backend services with Django / Django REST Framework
  • Lead architecture reviews in client projects and our own start-ups
  • Create rock-solid task queues with Celery + Redis / RabbitMQ / Kafka
  • Implement event-streaming integrations via Kafka or RabbitMQ (publishing, consuming, schema management)
  • Performance tuning, caching strategies and database optimisation (PostgreSQL, plus NoSQL where it makes sense)
  • Own the full lifecycle: Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, incident response
  • Drive code reviews & mentoring for mid- and junior engineers
  • Use AI coding tools responsibly – knowing when they add value and when they don’t

Requirements

  • 5+ years production experience with Django (incl. DRF)
  • Proven open-source contributions (share your GitHub)
  • Deep knowledge of Celery, distributed messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ) and async processing
  • Git power user, strong in shell & scripting (Bash/Python)
  • Hands-on with containers & cloud (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure)
  • Clean-code mindset
Benefits
  • Remote-first – work from anywhere
  • Output-oriented culture: we measure results, not time at the desk
  • Flat hierarchy, large say in tech & tooling decisions
  • Annual budget for conferences, certifications & hardware of your choice
  • Freedom to shape your contract: working hours, vacation, etc. are flexible – you come first
  • A team that truly lives Open Source & Clean Code
