• Write clean, testable, and reusable code that adheres to industry standards.
• Monitor and improve application performance across cloud-hosted environments.
• Participate in architecture discussions and contribute technical insights
• Review contributions from fellow developers and share thoughtful, improvement-focused insights
• Stay current with advancements in web architecture, APIs, and distributed system patterns

Required Skills and Technologies

• Advanced Python development experience (3+ years)
• Proficiency in Django, Flask, or FastAPI

• Prior experience building scalable remote web platforms or SaaS products
• Knowledge of frontend technologies like React or Vue.js is a plus
• Strong communication skills for asynchronous collaboration
• Familiarity with Agile or Scrum methodologies in distributed teams

Work Environment

This is a fully remote opportunity offering flexible hours and global collaboration. You’ll work with a distributed team across various time zones, leveraging tools like Slack, Jira, and Zoom for smooth coordination. The role emphasizes autonomy, outcome-driven goals, and regular check-ins, rather than rigid schedules. We foster a culture of trust, where your expertise is valued and innovation is encouraged.

Within the first 90 days, you will:

• Launch at least one feature or API endpoint independently
• Revise current codebases to boost clarity, scalability, or speed
• Establish a strong rapport with remote teammates
• Participate actively in team discussions and project planning

Beyond the first three months, success is measured by:

• Consistent delivery of high-quality, tested backend code
• Clear documentation practices
• Positive peer feedback during review cycles
• Active contribution to long-term architecture improvements

Benefits

• Competitive salary of $121,932 annually
• 100% remote with flexible working hours
• Health and wellness reimbursement program
• Professional development allowance for courses or certifications
• Paid time off, including vacation and sick days
• Home office support (equipment stipend or upgrades)
