Backend Development: Build, optimize, and maintain core Django services and APIs
System Architecture: Design scalable, secure solutions to support marketplace growth
Code Quality: Conduct code reviews and uphold engineering best practices and standards
Data Management: Work with Postgres and other data systems to ensure accuracy and performance
Cross-Pod Support: Collaborate with other pods and contribute to occasional frontend needs
Issue Resolution: Investigate, debug, and resolve platform bugs and performance bottlenecks
Team Collaboration: Participate in standups, planning, and alignment with Product and QA

Here’s What You’ll Need To Be Successful:

Django Expertise: Advanced experience building backend systems with Python/Django
AWS Proficiency: Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambdas, etc.)
Database Skills: Strong command of Postgres or similar relational databases
API Development: Proven ability to design, build, and maintain RESTful APIs
Frontend Flexibility: Comfort jumping into React-based frontend tasks when needed
Scalability Mindset: Ability to architect solutions that support a rapidly growing platform
Strong Debugging: Skilled at diagnosing complex issues across services and infrastructure
Collaboration & Ownership: Clear communication, cross-functional partnership, and a proactive approach in an agile environment
