We believe that the freedom and accountability to make decisions in technology, software, system architecture, and other design aspects bring out the best in you and help us build the best for the company.

This environment will not only offer you a steep learning curve but also allow you to experience the direct impact of your technological contributions. In addition, we offer industry-standard compensation.

What we look for:

We are looking for individuals with strong proficiency in Python, React, and Django. Any experience in a startup, front-end/back-end development, tech-integrations, or open-source contributions will be highly valued.
