About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Backend Developer to join our growing engineering team. As a core contributor to our backend systems, you will design, implement, and maintain robust, scalable, and secure APIs and services that power mission-critical applications.
Our stack is built on Python (Django), and hosted on Microsoft Azure, supporting a modern frontend (React.js), and serving enterprise clients in regulated or performance-sensitive environments. You will collaborate closely with frontend developers, DevOps engineers, architects, and product owners to deliver high-impact features and reliable systems.
This role is ideal for a senior engineer who combines hands-on coding excellence with a deep understanding of architectural best practices and a passion for clean, maintainable code.
