What you will do
- Lead backend development: design, implement, and maintain scalable backend systems in Python;
- Contribute across the stack: while backend is the main focus, be open to occasional frontend contributions (Vue.js, React, etc.) when needed;
- Collaborate with product & CEO: work closely with stakeholders to understand business needs and turn them into technical solutions;
- Prototype quickly & iterate: deliver functional, scrappy prototypes for fast learning and adjust based on feedback;
- Work with production feedback: build features that can be tested with real users, monitor performance, and iterate rapidly;
- Take ownership: make sound engineering decisions independently, ensuring alignment with product goals;
- Support a culture of speed and experimentation: balance technical quality with business value, optimizing for learning and time-to-market.
Must haves
- Proven experience of 4+ years as a Senior Python back-end engineer;
- A strong product-focused mindset and genuine interest in solving user and business problems, not just delivering code;
- A proactive nature, with a habit of asking questions and seeking to understand the bigger picture;
- Ability to think quickly, make strong engineering decisions, and adapt to changing requirements;
- Independence, ownership, and comfort working with minimal supervision;
- Must be based in Europe time zones (GMT+0 to GMT+5);
- Upper-Intermediate English level.
Nice to haves
- Experience with Python web frameworks like Django or FastAPI;
- Experience in an early-stage startup environment;
- Experience with building with LLMs or building agentic AI systems;
- Front-end experience with frameworks like Vue.js or React;
