We are currently seeking a highly experienced Senior/Lead Backend Developer (Python) who enjoys real ownership and can work independently in a greenfield environment. A full-stack orientation is strongly preferred, especially if you’re comfortable supporting end-to-end flows and collaborating closely with a React-based frontend.
