We know your inbox is full of vague job specs, so we are putting the salary, tech stack, and perks right at the top.

We need genuine technical depth across the full stack. Candidates who struggle with backend fundamentals or security will not pass the technical evaluation.

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • 2+ years of production experience with Python web frameworks (Flask, Django, or FastAPI). You must understand core backend security (input sanitization, preventing SQL injection) and system design concepts (concurrency, database locks).
