About the role:

We're looking for a Backend Developer (Python) to join our team. This is a remote role. The Core API team owns services that process several million requests a day.

What you'll work on:

Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks. Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS. Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't. Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current. Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans.

Requirements:

3+ years of backend development experience in a production environment. Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs. Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.

Also helpful:

Elasticsearch or OpenSearch. Prior work breaking up a monolith.

Pension scheme. Laptop and phone. Training budget. Travel allowance. 8% holiday allowance.

Start: Within 30 days.
