You will collaborate with talented engineers, product owners, and the co-founders to turn innovative concepts into reality. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy tackling complex technical challenges, and have a strong desire to be an early contributor at a start-up tackling a big challenge, we invite you to join us on this journey.

What you’ll do:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable applications using Python and AWS amongst other technologies. 
• Partner in the design, architecture, development, code review, and testing of all company applications to ensure scalability and performance.
• Collaborate with internal partners to define feature requirements and deliver the product that materially impacts the business and solves customs’ needs.

• Proficiency with modern, production Python using type hints and PostgreSQL
• Strong experience with backend services and cloud computing platforms (AWS)
• Experience and interests in data input, database design, data modeling, and optimization techniques.
• Ideally, have helped build a web-application or major feature versus predominately maintenance activities.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and a results-driven mindset.
