Your Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer in the Customer Journey team, 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. 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 playing a key role in scaling our data‑driven, growth‑oriented product.
* Design, build, and maintain robust backend services and APIs using Python/Django.
* Take end‑to‑end ownership of projects, from problem discovery to deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
* Write clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code, applying modern testing practices across unit, integration, and functional layers.
* Collaborate across disciplines (Product, Data, Design, and Frontend) to deliver full, measurable outcomes.
* Occasionally contribute to the React frontend or data pipelines (Snowflake, Airflow, dbt) to unblock progress on critical projects or improve feedback loops.
* 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.
Your Profile
* Solid professional software engineering experience, with deep backend expertise.
* Experience in a high‑growth or scaling company is a strong plus. You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity, driving clarity, and helping teams adapt as the organization evolves.
* Advanced proficiency in Python and Django.
* Strong grasp of software design principles, testing, and scalable architecture.
* Practical experience with CI/CD, AWS, and modern monitoring/observability tools.
* Familiarity with React and data workflows; you’re comfortable reading or extending frontend components and data pipelines when needed.
* A product‑minded engineer who understands trade‑offs, user needs, and impact‑driven development.
* High ownership mentality, seeing projects through from idea to measurable results.
* Excellent communication skills, fluency in English, and a collaborative mindset.
* Based in the European time zone (UTC+0 / UTC+2).
Nice to Have
* Experience with Snowflake, Airflow, dbt, dragster, cube, or similar data tools.
* Experience with event‑driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, Celery).
