The Role
We’re looking for an experienced (or senior) backend engineer to join the engineering team. You’ll be working alongside a highly technical and motivated team and supported by a Product Manager and Engineering Manager.. You would be expected to apply fundamental engineering and mathematical skills to solve problems and overcome challenges, not just develop code. For people with the right mindset, this frame of mind provides an intellectually stimulating environment.

The rest of the tech stack include Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, AWS, React.js, Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, Celery, Pandas, Numpy, Git, Jenkins and Elasticsearch. We have a very large but clean code base as we put significant emphasis on design patterns, code readability, automated testing, maintainability and extendability.
Responsibilities
As you can see, we are quickly progressing with our ambitious plans and are eager to grow our team of doers to achieve our vision of managing over 2 million properties through our platform across various countries. You can help us shape the future of property management across the globe. Here’s what we offer:
