Fullstack software engineer - Python/React

Senior Full Stack Developer

About the Role

As a Senior Full Stack Developer, you will be an integral part of a small, cross‑functional product team. You’ll help build, scale, and enhance features that directly impact thousands of renters and landlords using a major national rental marketplace. This position offers substantial influence over technical decisions and overall user experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and maintain reliable backend features and APIs using Python and Django.
• Collaborate closely with the product manager and UX designer to design and scale new product features.
• Manage and improve the team’s AWS cloud infrastructure.
• Maintain high code quality through robust testing, code reviews, and effective CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to architectural and technical decisions to ensure scalability and performance.

What We’re Looking For

• 5 years of experience as a full-stack developer, preferably within SaaS product development.
• Strong experience with modern web frameworks, particularly Django.
• Proven experience operating production systems in AWS (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch).
• A test‑first mindset with hands‑on experience in unit, integration, and regression testing.
• Familiarity with modern development workflows and tools (Git, CI/CD, code reviews).

Preferred Personal Attributes

• Product‑oriented thinking with the ability to prioritise real business impact.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills within cross‑disciplinary teams.
• Ability to take ownership of features from implementation through scaling.
• Experience with asynchronous processing tools (e.g., Celery) is beneficial.
• Motivated to guide and support other engineers and contribute to a learning‑driven culture.

Work Environment & Team

You’ll join a small but high‑impact autonomous team consisting of developers, a UX designer, and a product manager. The team owns features end‑to‑end — from concept to launch and beyond. The working culture is pragmatic, collaborative, and results‑focused, providing opportunities to influence both product evolution and technical strategy.

Tech Stack & Highlights

• Product‑focused development
• Scale‑up culture
• Docker
• AWS
• Django
• Marketplace / SaaS environment
