Software Django Developer

We're working with a fast-growing technology company focused on delivering scalable SaaS products to enterprise clients. The business combines product-led engineering with data-driven decision making, and is looking for an experienced backend engineer to help build and maintain their core platform.

The team values clean code, automated testing, and pragmatic architecture. You'll join a small, experienced engineering group where ownership and collaboration are central to delivery.


The Role

You will take responsibility for backend services and APIs, helping to shape the platform architecture and deliver new features end-to-end. The role involves close collaboration with product, data, and frontend colleagues to deliver high-quality, reliable services.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

  • Designing, implementing and maintaining backend services and REST/GraphQL APIs using Python and Django (or Django REST Framework).

  • Building performant, secure data models and database schemas (Postgres).

  • Writing automated tests (unit/integration) and participating in code review processes.

  • Collaborating with frontend engineers to define interfaces and deliver product features.

  • Working with DevOps/Platform teams on CI/CD, containerisation and deployment (Docker, Kubernetes or managed alternatives).

  • Troubleshooting production issues and improving observability (logging, metrics, tracing).

  • Contributing to technical design discussions and driving improvements to reliability and performance.


Tech Stack & Skills

Core skills:

  • Strong Python development experience (5+ years preferred) with production Django/Django REST Framework work.

  • Solid relational database experience, ideally Postgres (schema design, query optimisation).

  • Test-driven development practices and experience with pytest or equivalent.

  • Experience working with RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL.

  • Familiarity with containerisation and cloud deployment (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS/GKE or equivalent).

  • Version control with Git and experience of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, etc.).

Nice to have:

  • Experience with async frameworks (FastAPI, Celery, or asyncio-based work).

  • Exposure to event-driven architectures, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) or pub/sub.

  • Knowledge of observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, ELK).

  • Understanding of security best practices for web services (OWASP, authentication/authorization patterns).

  • Experience working in product-led teams and mentoring junior engineers.
