Back-end Software Engineer

• Build product features end to end on the backend, from the API to the database
• Connect the platform with hotel suppliers, booking systems, payment providers and AI services, and keep those connections reliable when the other side isn’t
• Design and run the background jobs that keep bookings, payments and data in sync
• Evolve the database of a live product without interrupting the people who rely on it
• Write short technical proposals before big changes, and review your teammates’ work
• Take your turn on call, help resolve production issues, and leave things better than you found them

For us, Senior isn’t a matter of years or of how many technologies you know. It’s how you work:

• You understand the problem before you solve it. You ask what the business or user actually needs, and sometimes the right answer is not to build anything.
• You choose the simplest solution that works.
• To you, complexity is a cost.
• You make trade-offs explicit and explain your reasoning.
• You own outcomes, not tasks.
• You surface risks early, say when a plan is no longer realistic, and see things through after release.
• You build things others can maintain.
• Your code is clear, tested and easy to evolve without you in the room.
• You think about what can go wrong. Failing dependencies, bad data, security and performance are part of the design, not an afterthought.
• You act like a consultant.
• You adapt how you communicate to engineers, product and clients, and you bring recommendations, not only problems.
• You make your team better. You give thoughtful reviews, share what you know and help others grow, without becoming a bottleneck.
• You keep learning. You get productive in unfamiliar systems and know when to ask for help.
• You use AI responsibly. It makes you faster, but you understand and validate everything before it ships.

• 4+ years building backends with Python and Django (Django REST Framework a big plus)
• Solid experience with PostgreSQL in production, including schema changes on live systems
• Hands-on experience with background processing (Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis or similar)
• You’ve built and maintained integrations with third-party APIs and know what happens when they fail
• You care about testing, code quality and constructive code reviews
• You’ve supported your own work in production: monitoring, debugging and incidents don’t scare you
• You’re comfortable in a large codebase shared with many engineers
• C1 English: you’ll work daily with a US-based team, in meetings and in writing
