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
