Your mission
- Design and build scalable backend services with Django / Django REST Framework
- Lead architecture reviews in client projects and our own start-ups
- Create rock-solid task queues with Celery + Redis / RabbitMQ / Kafka
- Implement event-streaming integrations via Kafka or RabbitMQ (publishing, consuming, schema management)
- Performance tuning, caching strategies and database optimisation (PostgreSQL, plus NoSQL where it makes sense)
- Own the full lifecycle: Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, incident response
- Drive code reviews & mentoring for mid- and junior engineers
- Use AI coding tools responsibly – knowing when they add value and when they don’t
