[Hiring] Glific Python API Developer @TAP

Role Description

We're looking for a developer who can do both — design the conversational flow that a student experiences on WhatsApp and build the backend systems that make it work reliably at scale. You can independently trace a user interaction from a Glific flow through webhooks and APIs all the way to the database, identify where something is breaking, and implement a fix that holds. You write clean, maintainable code, document what you build, and take ownership of the systems you ship — including after they go live. If you're someone who finds satisfaction in making complex integrations work seamlessly for users who will never know they exist — you'll thrive here.

Qualifications

• 1+ year of practical experience creating and managing Glific flows.
• Strong Python programming skills.
• Experience developing and consuming REST APIs.
• Experience with FastAPI, Frappe, or another Python web framework.
• Understanding of webhooks, JSON, HTTP, OAuth, API tokens, and authentication.
• Working knowledge of SQL databases — PostgreSQL or MariaDB.
• Experience with Git and structured debugging.
• Ability to translate business processes into clear conversational flows and backend logic.

Requirements

• Design, implement, test, and maintain Glific flows for student and teacher-facing experiences.
• Integrate Glific with internal and third-party systems.
• Translate business and program requirements into clear, reliable conversational flows.
• Implement multilingual flows where required.
• Develop REST APIs using FastAPI, Frappe, Django, Flask, or similar Python frameworks.
• Implement webhooks, authentication, validation, error handling, and logging.
• Write maintainable code, technical documentation, and automated tests.
• Work with SQL databases — PostgreSQL, MariaDB — and manage data exchange between systems.
• Ensure reliable data flow across Glific, backend APIs, and integrated platforms.
• Diagnose issues across flows, APIs, background jobs, and integrations.
• Monitor production systems and resolve performance or reliability problems.
• Collaborate with product, operations, and program teams to convert requirements into working solutions.

Benefits

• Real ownership: Build and maintain systems that directly power TAP's student-facing learning experience.
• Interesting problems: Work at the intersection of conversational design, backend engineering, and AI integration — on a platform serving thousands of daily active users.
• Collaborative environment: Work closely with product, operations, curriculum, and program teams — your work connects directly to what students experience.
• Supportive culture: Collaborative teams, open communication, and shared purpose.
• Sector-aligned compensation: Competitive salary in line with experience and nonprofit standards.
