Senior Software Engineer (MongoDB / Django) – 6-Month Contract – Outside IR35 – Fully Remote
About the Role
Aimtech Recruitment are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in MongoDB to help solve complex integration challenges between Django and MongoEngine within a live production environment.
This is a hands-on engineering role, suited to someone who can move beyond theory — designing, implementing, and optimising real-world solutions that enhance the performance, scalability, and maintainability of our data layer.
You’ll join a collaborative engineering team and act as a subject-matter expert in MongoDB usage, schema design, and data interaction patterns within Django applications.
What You’ll Do
* Design and implement solutions that improve how Django and MongoDB interoperate.
* Review and refactor existing data models, ensuring performance and scalability.
* Work closely with backend teams to guide best practices around schema design, indexing, and query optimisation.
* Educate and mentor engineers on effective MongoDB usage patterns and integration strategies.
* Help evolve internal tooling, libraries, and data access layers to streamline development.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer with a strong focus on backend systems and database design.
* Advanced MongoDB knowledge – schema design, aggregation pipelines, performance tuning, replication, and indexing strategies.
* Strong experience with Django and MongoEngine, including hands-on integration work.
* Ability to architect, build, and deliver solutions — not just advise or design theoretically.
* Solid Python experience.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in remote teams.
Nice to Have
* Experience with system architecture, microservices, or scaling data-driven applications.
* Familiarity with AWS or GCP.
* Previous work in mentoring or technical leadership roles.
