Senior/Mid Python (Django) Developer (Open to React / Vue.js)

We are a small, non-corporate product team. We value pragmatism over buzzwords.
 

• The Team: Founder, Junior Dev (Filip), Mobile Dev (Sergiej), and a dedicated DevOps freelancer (Rafał) who handles the heavy lifting on AWS.
• The Stack: Python (Django) on Backend. Frontend is a mix of Legacy Vue.js 2 (main app) and React.js (new modules).
• The Goal: We need to replace our outgoing Lead Developer. We need someone who can write solid business logic and isn't afraid to touch the frontend.

What you will actually do:

1. Backend First (60-70%): You will be the master of our Django API. Your first big tasks will be implementing Payment Automation and User Groups logic.
2. Frontend Flexibility (30-40%): You will work on the web interface. We have legacy code in Vue.js 2(maintenance) and new features in React.js. You need to be comfortable switching between them to deliver features.
3. Collaboration: You will coordinate with our Mobile Dev (providing API endpoints for React Native) and our DevOps (when deploying new services).

We are looking for:

• Strong Python & Django experience. You know how to write clean, secure, and performant code.
• Frontend willingness. You don't need to be a CSS artist, but you must be able to write functional React/Vue components and debug Vue.js code without panic.
• "Production awareness". You don't need to be a DevOps expert (we have one), but you should understand basics of cloud deployment (AWS/Docker) to not break the build.
• Mentoring attitude. You will be working with a smart Junior dev – we expect you to share your knowledge with him.

The Offer:

• Start: ASAP / January.
• No Agencies. Direct cooperation only.
