We are looking for a talented Senior Full Stack Engineer who is experienced with Django/Python, React, and preferably React Native. As a small team, we value generalists who thrive on tackling new challenges and have a strong work ethic. When it comes to code, we're looking to work with experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it. We use TypeScript and build scalable systems so we can continuously make progress on a solid foundation. We don't expect you to have a background in everything we use, but we do expect strong JavaScript fundamentals and a background working with React and TypeScript. If this sounds like you, we'd love to chat!
