Requirements

Must have:

• Strong Python engineering skills, ideally with production Django experience on complex, large-scale applications (not just small web apps)
• Good understanding of integration patterns, API development (REST / GraphQL), and third-party system interoperability
• Solid experience in building automated tests: unit, integration, and E2E tests
• Passion for clean code, peer reviews, and high code quality standards
• Familiarity with scaling large systems — vertical scaling, single-tenant deployments
• Self-driven, comfortable with autonomy and open team cultures (trust > process)
• Experience working with or around AWS services (e.g., RDS, S3, Kubernetes, SQS, RabbitMQ)
• Strong verbal and written English communication skills
• Readiness to work with Windows (WSL)

Nice to have:

• Integrate external systems and third-party APIs
• Work closely with Product Managers and Tech Leads to define, size, and solve real-world telecom customer problems
• Write high-quality, well-tested code ensuring reliable daily deployments to production
• Participate in peer reviews, refinements, and continuous feedback loops across a multi-disciplinary team
• Maintain a developer-first quality culture: own unit, integration, and functional testing
• Be part of a weekly engineering goal-setting process (lean Kanban-style working)
