In this role, you will: 

• Design, develop, and maintain a key component that supports the efficient flow of supply chain operations. 
• Enhance code quality and ensure comprehensive test coverage through continuous improvement. 
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional development teams to integrate solutions and align best practices. 

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications: 

• 6+ years of professional experience with Python, with a focus on versions 3.10 and above. 
• Practical experience working with web frameworks such as FastAPI or Django. 
• Strong understanding of SQL database principles, particularly with PostgreSQL.

Bonus Points: 

• Experience with NoSQL databases, particularly with Redis. 
• Practical experience with asynchronous programming (e.g., asyncio) or message bus systems. 
• Ability to clearly articulate technology choices and rationale (e.g., Tornado vs. Flask). 
• Experience presenting at conferences or meetups, regardless of scale. 
• Contributions to open-source projects. 
• Familiarity with WMS concepts and logistics-related processes. 

Is This the Right Role for You?
