- Take ownership of entire outcomes, and continue to support and grow them through iteration, documentation, and bug fixes (we do not have a QA team)
- Collaborate with the product team in scoping and defining the features that will best help the company achieve the outcomes aligned with our goals and the values we believe in
- Be an active contributor to the company culture and future hiring efforts
What You'll Bring
- 6+ years of backend development experience
- Expertise in Python (with Django framework experience preferred)
- Strong record of building and delivering web applications
- Expertise in modern infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, CircleCI, etc.) preferred, but not required
- Understanding and adherence to modern software development practices (Gitflow, continuous integration, peer reviews, etc.)
