[Hiring] Python Software Engineer @TJM Labs

Role Description

We're a small, fast-moving software team building web platforms and the desktop tooling that goes with them. We're growing a dedicated platform team and looking for a versatile Python engineer who's happy owning a feature end to end — from a backend API down to the client that consumes it. You'll work across a server-rendered web application and a cross-platform desktop application, integrating third-party services, handling sensitive data carefully, and shipping reliably.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain backend services and REST APIs in Python / Django.
• Model and evolve relational data, write migrations, and keep the data layer clean.
• Extend a cross-platform desktop application built in Python.
• Integrate third-party APIs, webhooks, and OAuth / service-account auth flows.
• Handle authentication, encryption of sensitive data, and secret management thoughtfully.
• Own the full lifecycle: tests, containerized builds, CI/CD, and deployments.
• Write clean, tested code and review your teammates' work.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional Python, with real production experience in Django (or a comparable web framework).
• Solid relational database skills (PostgreSQL or similar) — modeling, querying, migrations.
• Comfortable with Docker and modern CI/CD workflows.
• Experience integrating third-party APIs, webhooks, and auth flows.
• A good grasp of authentication and security fundamentals — tokens, encryption, secret management.
• Strong testing habits and confident with Git-based collaboration.

Requirements

• You take ownership. You're comfortable picking up an ambiguous problem and driving it to a shipped result without a lot of hand-holding.
• You communicate clearly and write things down — async-friendly and remote-ready.
• You care about getting the details right, especially around security and data handling.
• You're pragmatic: you reach for the simplest solution that works before reaching for a complex one.
• You enjoy working across the stack and aren't precious about which layer a problem lives in.
• You're a fast learner who's energized by a small team where your work has visible impact.

Benefits

• Competitive salary package.
• Compensation paid in USD.
• Fully remote role with the flexibility to work from anywhere.
• Company-wide events and team gatherings are planned to foster collaboration and connection.

Company Description

Our stack includes Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Celery, Redis, Docker, AWS, and pytest.
