Mid-senior python developer

We're on the hunt for a developer who can comfortably jump between frontend finesse, backend logic, and database wizardry - basically, someone who doesn't panic when the stack gets a little... tall. You'll be building cool things people use (yes, in production), taking ideas from "this might work" to "this is live, don't touch it on a Friday." You'll spend your time crafting slick interfaces, wiring up powerful backend logic, and making sure everything plays nicely together, including those mysterious third-party integrations that occasionally have moods of their own.

Key Responsibilities

Turning product ideas and designs into real, working features across the stack - from shiny UI to the logic that makes it all tick

Building smooth, responsive interfaces using

React 18 ,

Vite ,

Tailwind CSS , and

shadcn/ui (Radix UI)

and yes, they should look as good in real life as they did in Figma

Writing backend magic with

js

and

Express , creating APIs that are fast, secure, and don't randomly fall over

Keeping frontend data under control with

Tan Stack Query , and making forms behave with

React Hook Form + Zod

(because validation matters)

Designing and maintaining clean, efficient data structures in

Postgre SQL , writing SQL that doesn't make future-you cry

Making sure everything is secure using tools like

Helmet ,

rate limiting , and proper session handling (no "just hope for the best" approach here)

Translating UI/UX into pixel-perfect builds using

Tailwind CSS + Radix primitives , with just enough

Framer Motion

to make things feel polished

Handling navigation like a pro with

React Router , so users never feel lost

Working with maps ( Leaflet ) and icons ( Lucide ) to keep things visually consistent and user-friendly

Integrating with external services, including payment flows ( Pay Fast ) and email systems ( Nodemailer ), and dealing with the chaos when third‑party APIs feel unpredictable

Managing file uploads (yes, users upload anything) using

Multer , and keeping storage organised

Keeping everything running smoothly in

Docker , with environments that actually behave the same locally, staging, and in production

Helping push code to production via

CI/CD (Git Hub Actions)

without breaking everything on a Friday afternoon

Debugging weird, mysterious issues, the kind where you say, "that doesn't make sense" at least twice

Refactoring older code to make it cleaner, faster, and less confusing for the next person

Writing commit messages that future developers will silently thank you for

Quietly making sure good security and engineering practices are followed across the board

Job Experience and Skills Required

Have at least a couple of years of real-world development experience under your belt.

Have built products that actual humans use (and occasionally complain about).

Can take a feature from "great idea" to "it's live" without needing a weekly motivational speech.

Understand that Git is for version control, not for creating 146 branches nobody will ever merge.

Enjoy solving problems and don't immediately declare bankruptcy when faced with an unfamiliar issue.

Can work independently but also know when to ask for help before accidentally reinventing Google.

Communicate technical concepts without sounding like a malfunctioning Stack Overflow post.

Give constructive feedback during code reviews and don't take feedback personally when it's your turn.

Stay curious about new tools and technologies without feeling compelled to rewrite everything every six months.

Take ownership, meet commitment
