Requirements

• Advanced English level (MANDATORY). • 5+ years of experience working with Python, with a deep understanding of its libraries and frameworks (we use FastAPI, SqlAchemy, Alembic) • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to quickly adapt and resolve issues in changing environments. • Strong written and verbal communication skills. • You will need to provide your own workspace with reliable internet service. • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while being a reliable collaborator. • Frequent and proactive communication with team members via Slack. • Highly organized and proficient in task management, with the ability to be accountable for your time in a fully remote setting. • Team player willing to go beyond your role to support the broader team and work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. • Ability to research effectively and independently resolve challenges as you work. • Experience with cloud platforms (we use Heroku) and code to production. • Experience with version control (we use Github) and collaborative development workflows.

Benefits

• Fully remote position • Full-Time position - we expect 40h of active work time. • Contract-based employment • Starting at $5,000 - $8,500 depending on qualifications • There are currently NO formal benefits packages available (health insurance, retirement plans, not billable PTO, not billable Sick Days but we have no problem if you want to work additional hours after to make up for it).
