- Support system design and guide the team in following engineering best practices (SOLID principles, design patterns, clean code).
- Help integrate third-party services and payment systems.
- Encourage growth and learning within the team.
- Contribute to ongoing process improvements, including code quality, DevOps, and documentation.
- 8+ years of software development experience (ideally with Python).
- At least 2 years working with or mentoring other engineers (as a lead, mentor, or senior developer).
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong hands-on coding abilities; experience with Django or similar frameworks is a plus.
- Familiarity with scalable system/API design, relational and NoSQL databases, and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Able to thrive in a collaborative and fast-moving environment.
- Good communicator, comfortable working cross-functionally.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices.
- Previous fintech, payments, or gaming industry exposure.
