Job Level
About the role
- Backend & APIs (Django): Build and continuously evolve backend systems and APIs in Django
- Own architecture decisions: scalability, reliability, maintainability
- Implement features in the React frontend (UI, state management, integration)
- Improve performance and developer experience
- Design clean interfaces between frontend and backend
- Implement and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
- Apply clean code practices, design patterns, and system design consistently
- Refactor large parts of the codebase to improve long-term maintainability — using modern tools such as Claude
- Systematically expand testing/QA (unit, integration, end-to-end tests, depending on the area)
- Actively use and evolve AI-assisted development workflows to iterate faster, increase quality, and automate processes
Requirements
- Strong experience in full-stack development — both backend and frontend are important
- Excellent React skills (component architecture, state management, performance, clean patterns)
- Strong backend skills (Django, APIs, data modeling)
- Solid understanding of architecture, design patterns, and clean-code principles
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD (build pipelines, testing, deployments, release processes)
- Strong testing and QA practices
- Familiarity with modern toolchains and workflows — including AI-assisted development
- Bonus: experience with Go and/or Rust (or strong curiosity), as we plan to expand parts of the system in those directions
Benefits
- High autonomy & ownership: You influence decisions and build end-to-end
- Direct collaboration with the CTO: short feedback loops, fast decisions, real technical leadership
- Your ideas matter: small team, big impact, fast iteration
- Retreats / workations: We meet regularly at inspiring locations
- Strong engineering culture: clean architecture, code reviews, testing, observability
- AI at the core: modern AI tooling stacks — and AI used only where it makes sense
- Stock option program for employees who stand out through exceptional talent and commitment
