We're looking for a Senior Django Backend Engineer to help deliver exciting new features for our users and improve the quality of existing ones while collaborating closely with other engineers (both frontend and backend) and product owners. You can learn more about some of the challenges we work on from this blogpost (dated Oct 2024)
Compensation: 100k £/€ + Stock-Options/BSPCE
Location: Remote across Europe with quarterly Paris office visits (fully reimbursed)
You will own your work from A to Z: it goes from working on the architecture & coding features to monitoring releases' performance (we use Datadog for monitoring).
You will get fast feedback from our users and will iterate quickly (we update the backend multiple times a week). You will follow the usage of the product and make decisions based on that.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., product, front-end) to actively help design and deliver seamless user experiences.
You will optimise existing endpoints, driving down latency and ensuring we can continue to scale to ever greater usages
You have 5+ years of experience in backend development with Django and Django Rest Framework
You have experience working with a relational database at scale, designing schemas, optimising Django queries, and running migrations with minimal downtime
You have a hands-on experience with a PostgreSQL/MySQL database larger than 100 GB
You have experience designing endpoints in direct collaboration with frontend engineers, delivering both Open API and developer manuals/supporting documentation
You are always the most pragmatic person in the room. You favour speed of iteration over perfect, always leverage frameworks and libraries to avoid reinventing the wheel
You have a strong sense of ownership. You take initiative and you are at ease to make product & technical decisions.
You are fluent in English (French is not required!).
If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.
Work flexibly from anywhere in Europe within a 3-hour flight from Paris (HQ)
Regular team gatherings, including in-person onboarding in Paris (1-2 weeks), yearly company offsite and team retreat, quarterly in-person meetings (monthly during probation period), and social events like winter party and hackathons.
30 days annual leave plus local public holidays
Competitive equity package with stock options/BSPCE, giving you ownership in our growing company
€1000 one-time home office grant OR €400 per month co-working space stipend
€1,000 annual learning and development budget for training, courses, books, and skill development
Private health insurance
Access to personalised mental health support, including 1:1 sessions with therapists or coaches, self-care tools, and well-being resources via MokaCare
