Backend Developer - Python

About Granary Labs

Granary Labs is a 42-person software shop in Cambridge. The founders still answer support tickets. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role

Granary Labs is hiring for the Backend Developer - Python position to build and run the APIs and services behind our web and mobile apps. Our team is spread across 9 countries.
