About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead backend initiatives that span multiple products, architecting Django REST Framework services, Celery task orchestration, and PostgreSQL data models used company-wide.
  • Set the technical bar for coding standards, observability, and performance across every team, not just your own.
  • Step into frontend work when it matters, shipping React and Next.js components with the same rigor you bring to backend systems.
  • Drive performance across the stack, from API and Celery worker tuning to killing slow renders and bloated bundles.
  • Standardize observability end to end across Sentry, Datadog, and Grafana, so every service gets the same level of visibility.
  • Mentor engineers through code review and design sessions, and be the person people go to before a decision gets made, not after.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 8+ years with Python 3 and Django REST Framework
  • Hands-on experience with React, Next.js, and TypeScript
  • Deep understanding of Django internals, ORM optimization, and REST API design
  • Proven experience architecting distributed systems and async processing with Celery
  • Strong PostgreSQL expertise: schema design, indexing, query optimization
  • Production experience with observability stacks: Sentry, Datadog, Grafana
  • Daily fluency with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agentic development tools
  • Comfortable in Git-based workflows, GitLab preferred
  • Available during EST or GMT+1 working hours
  • Bonus points if you've worked with ClickHouse or Elasticsearch at scale, or have Kubernetes exposure.

Benefits
