• Lead the design and implementation of new features, ensuring scalability and reliability at every step.
• Collaborate with product, design, and QA to bring new ideas from concept to production.
• Improve automation and developer efficiency with modern CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Serverless Framework).
• Mentor and support other developers, raising the technical bar across the team.

What You Bring

• 6+ years of professional experience building backend applications, with Python as your primary language.
• Solid background in building distributed, cloud-native applications (AWS preferred).
• Familiarity with REST API design, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.
• Proven ability to work in remote, cross-functional teams.
• Strong English communication skills.
• Experience mentoring, reviewing code, and providing technical leadership is a plus.
