The Role

An exciting opportunity for a Python / Django Engineer to join a fast-scaling fintech business in the automotive space. You'll be working across several high-impact, greenfield projects that sit at the heart of the company's next phase of growth.

These projects are well-defined, fast-moving, and will give you full ownership of backend delivery.

Responsibilities
* Develop, test, and deliver clean, scalable backend code using Python and Django

* Collaborate closely with PMs, frontend engineers, and QA teams to deliver end-to-end features

* Take ownership of key deliverables across multiple concurrent projects

* Support smooth handovers to permanent teams post-delivery

* Deep understanding of Django ORM

* Proven ability to work autonomously and deliver to deadlines

Nice-to-have:
