• Comfortable taking ownership of problems end to end
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure and modern CI/CD pipelines

• Legally authorised to work in the United States without sponsorship
• Available for core collaboration hours overlapping US Eastern Time

Technology Environment

• Backend built with Python and Django, with a strong focus on testing and reliability
• GraphQL APIs supporting modern frontend applications
• Cloud infrastructure hosted on GCP with managed services and deployment tooling

What’s on Offer
