[Hiring] Python/Django Engineer @PulseRise Technologies

Role Description

Join a mission-driven team powering life-changing learning experiences. The company combines the expertise of top tutors with cutting-edge AI to create personalized journeys that keep learners motivated and inspired. The Engineering Team builds tools that unlock human potential through education. The platform delivers scalable, resilient applications using Python/Django on the backend and ReactJS on the frontend, ensuring a seamless and exceptional user experience.

The company is tech-agnostic in hiring and welcomes candidates from diverse technical backgrounds (Java/Spring, Node.js/Express, Ruby on Rails, Scala/Play, PHP, Golang, etc.). While Python is the main language, prior Python experience is not mandatory. The interview uses a Python/Django codebase as a shared environment — deep stack expertise is not required. What matters most is your ability to navigate unfamiliar code, adapt quickly, and effectively use AI tools. The coding interview is AI-assisted, and you will be expected to use AI as part of your workflow. The team runs A/B tests to validate initiatives and continuously improves the product based on data and feedback from students and tutors. Monitoring and metrics analysis are central to ensuring high-quality delivery.
