Senior Backend Engineer (Python + Django)
Summary
Senior Backend Engineer builds and scales Django APIs for a privacy-focused SaaS that removes personal data from brokers, integrating payment and identity providers while optimizing Celery/RabbitMQ pipelines.
We help people remove their personal information from data broker websites and take back control of their online privacy. We’re a fully remote company headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to work closely with the founders on both product development and technical direction. This role is open to candidates based in Latin America.
What you’d work on in your first quarter You’d be writing code in our Django backend, which powers both the consumer dashboard and the B2B platform:
New features for the APIs that power our consumer dashboard and customer reporting
Performance and reliability work in our Celery and RabbitMQ pipelines
Integrations with third‑party services like payment providers and identity providers (Stripe, WorkOS SSO)
Code review, both giving and receiving, on a small backend team of other Senior Engineers
We don’t have a rigid roadmap of "first 30 days, first 60 days" — you’d pick up real work in your first week.
Requirements What we’re looking for:
6+ years building production web applications
3+ years with Python and Django
Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis in production (day‑1 pipeline scope)
Working knowledge of CS fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, SQL, system design
Strong written communication; comfortable working async across time zones
Self‑direction and follow‑through
Fluency in English
Strong plus
DRF and/or django‑ninja
Postgres tuning and query analysis
Kubernetes and AWS
Stripe, WorkOS SSO, or other third‑party API integrations
HTMX, React, or both
Background in consumer privacy or adjacent industries
Experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, etc.)
