  • Architect & Execute: Leverage your deep Python expertise to guide architectural decisions and provide hands-on technical leadership on complex back-end challenges.

  • Product Ownership: Work closely with stakeholders to understand the "why" behind the "what," ensuring engineering efforts align with the broader business vision.

What You Bring

  • Proven Leadership: Experience managing direct reports or mentoring engineering teams.

Bonus Points For:

  • The Tech Stack: Hands-on experience with Django or FastAPI.
