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.

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
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
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)
