About the role

  • Serve as the technical lead across platform and backend engineering — owning architecture decisions, facilitating cross-team coordination, and ensuring consistent development standards.
  • Design, build, and maintain core backend services and APIs using Django/Python and Go, with a focus on reliability, performance, and scalability.
  • Proactively identify and address technical debt, performance bottlenecks, security risks, and reliability gaps before they become production incidents.
  • Mentor and develop engineers across the team — providing clear, constructive technical guidance and helping others grow in ownership and scope.
  • Contribute to frontend development in React, particularly around platform integrations and internal tooling.
  • Be a dependable presence on-call and in production — you take ownership of issues through to resolution and document your learnings as repeatable processes.

Requirements

  • Strong ability to write well-structured, idiomatic, Python and Go with a deep understanding of the Django ecosystem.
  • Hands-on experience integrating payment systems (Stripe, Worldpay, Braintree, or similar)
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical architecture discussions and produce clear, defensible design decisions with appropriate trade-off analysis.
  • Experience with RESTful API design, WebSockets, and asynchronous/event-driven architectures.
  • Strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch) including schema design, query optimization, indexing and transactional integrity.
  • Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and modern DevOps tooling.
  • React (or similar) development experience — comfortable contributing to or reviewing frontend work within a full-stack platform context.
  • Reliable and dependable – you follow through, communicate proactively, and treat your commitments seriously.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable driving alignment across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

  • Comprehensive benefits
