Your Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer in our Customer Journey team at RoomPriceGenie, you’ll build the systems that power user activation, engagement and long-term success. You’ll focus primarily on backend development using Python/Django, owning features end-to-end, from design and implementation to testing and deployment. But your impact will extend beyond the backend: you’ll collaborate closely across the stack, occasionally working in our React frontend and data pipelines to keep the team moving fast. You’ll operate with high autonomy, combining technical excellence with product awareness, and you’ll play a key role in helping us evolve a scalable, data-informed, growth-driven product.

* Ensure data quality, observability and performance in systems that feed our analytics and growth experiments.
* Participate in architecture reviews, technical discussions and mentoring, helping elevate our engineering standards.
* Drive continuous improvement in how we design, test, deploy and monitor our applications.

* High ownership mentality, you see projects through from idea to measurable results.
* Excellent communication skills, fluency in English, and a collaborative mindset.
