  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services using Python and Django, including asynchronous components where applicable
  • Write unit and integration tests to ensure system reliability, prevent regressions, and improve overall test coverage and testing practices
  • Estimate software development effort for features and long-term technical initiatives
  • Collaborate with product, QA, and engineering teams to turn requirements into well-defined technical solutions
  • Participate in code reviews, help raise engineering quality, and contribute to technical decisions


  • What We're Looking For
  • At least 5+ years of development experience, with Python as the primary language
  • Strong experience building production backend systems with Django and asynchronous python (asyncio)
  • Strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures and concurrency
  • Experience in architecture design of highly loaded and scalable solutions
  • Hands-on experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL), including writing complex SQL queries, schema design, migrations, performance tuning
  • Experience with Redis for caching and state management in distributed systems
  • Strong understanding of the development cycle from requirements analysis and deployment to application monitoring
  • Willingness to participate in on-call rotations


  • Nice To Have
  • Experience with Go
  • Production experience with Apache Kafka
  • Prior experience working with systems supporting 1M+ users
  • Experience in writing automated tests, measuring test coverage, and defining test automation strategies
  • Experience in sports/betting industries
