Backend Engineer (Django)

We are seeking a skilled Mid-Senior Django Engineer with approximately 3-5 years of professional experience to join our innovative biomedical startup. In this role, you will build and maintain the backend of our SaaS platform using Django and Django REST Framework, working alongside our backend developers and AI engineers to integrate various APIs, computer vision tools, and Large Language Models into production-ready solutions. You will collaborate on deploying AI models, designing robust endpoints, and creatively leveraging LLMs for structured outputs. Selected applicants will be asked to perform a short take-home test task and submit a 30-second video introduction—this is the main criterion we will use for our interview process before the final meeting.

 

Company Overview

QOVES is a biomedical startup focused on improving patient experiences in cosmetic medical clinics through software. We develop AI-powered applications that predict post-surgery appearances and assist in diagnosing the necessity of cosmetic procedures. Our goal is to transform cosmetic surgery consultations into a well-defined, clinical process of diagnosis and visualization through our software integrations with clinics.
 

Your Role
 

As a Senior Django Engineer at QOVES, you will be responsible for:

• Building and Maintaining Backend Services
  Develop and integrate Django-based microservices and RESTful APIs (using Django REST Framework) to power our SaaS platform.
• Integrating AI and Computer Vision
  Collaborate with our AI engineers to incorporate computer vision techniques (e.g., GLCM, SWFT transformers) and Large Language Models into robust, scalable solutions.
• LLM Utilization and Prompt Engineering
  Design innovative prompts for LLMs to produce structured JSON outputs and other data formats required by our applications.
• DevOps for AI Model Deployment
  Set up and manage the infrastructure needed to deploy prebuilt AI models, ensuring reliability, security, and scalability. While we have a dedicated DevOps team, you should be comfortable configuring and running your own test environments quickly.
• Collaboration and Code Quality
  Participate in code reviews, share best practices, and contribute to key architectural decisions.
• Problem-Solving and Innovation
  Think creatively to solve complex backend challenges and continuously optimize system performance.
