About the Role
We’re looking for a part-time Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale backend services that power our core products and support client-facing consulting engagements. This role blends strong technical execution with the ability to collaborate directly with clients to understand requirements and deliver high-quality solutions.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs
- Develop backend services using Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django, or similar)
- Deploy, operate, and monitor services running on AWS
- Design and work with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and/or NoSQL databases (DynamoDB)
- Work directly with consulting clients to understand technical requirements, clarify use cases, and support implementation
- Translate client needs into technical designs and production-ready solutions
- Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code following modern engineering best practices
- Collaborate asynchronously with internal teams in a remote environment
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical design decisions
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer (or equivalent hands-on project experience)
- Strong experience building and consuming REST APIs
- Proficiency in Python and backend frameworks (Flask, FastAPI, Django, etc.)
- Experience deploying and running production services on AWS
- Working knowledge of SQL and/or NoSQL databases
- Comfort with Git-based workflows (PRs, code reviews, CI/CD)
- Strong English communication skills
- Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and clients
- Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and thrive in a fully remote environment
Nice to Have
- Prior experience in consulting or client-facing engineering role
- Experience translating ambiguous requirements into technical solutions
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code or CI/CD pipelines
- Experience working on distributed or data-heavy systems
Benefits
- Fully remote, contractor-friendly engagement
- High ownership: you’ll design and ship production-grade backend services end-to-end
- Modern backend stack (Python + REST APIs) with strong engineering standards (testing, code reviews, CI/CD)
