We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join a small, highly autonomous engineering team building a scalable, API-driven web platform used in production by a large and active user base. This role is ideal for a senior individual contributor who is comfortable owning features end-to-end, working independently with minimal process overhead, and making sound technical decisions across backend and frontend systems. You will work primarily with Python (Django / DRF) on the backend and React on the frontend, contributing to new feature development, system performance, and data-intensive workflows. This role is part of a flat, collaborative team with high individual ownership and a strong culture of trust. It offers a high degree of autonomy, minimal meetings, and close collaboration through thoughtful code reviews and asynchronous communication. The work is primarily focused on building new features, with continuous opportunities to improve and evolve the existing system. If you are fluent in English, proactive, detail-oriented, and passionate about building high-quality data solutions, this role offers the opportunity to work remotely with international teams while contributing to meaningful digital health innovation Here are some of the exciting day-to-day challenges you will face in this role:

Build and maintain API-driven backend services using Django and Django Rest Framework, supporting scalable and data-intensive workflows.

Design and optimize complex ORM queries to power reporting, analytics, and aggregated data views.

Develop background and asynchronous processing for batch operations such as data processing and report generation.

Apply caching strategies to improve performance on high-traffic or data-heavy endpoints.

Manage database schema evolution through migrations as product features expand.

Build and maintain interactive, responsive frontend components using React and modern hooks.

Implement efficient data-fetching and caching patterns to support complex UI workflows.

Make pragmatic UI/UX decisions while collaborating closely with engineering and product stakeholders.

Own features end-to-end, from design and implementation through testing and deployment.

Contribute through code reviews, shared standards, and occasional mentorship.

Balance new feature development with ongoing refactoring and quality improvements.

Work effectively in a low-process, high-trust environment that values autonomy, accountability, and strong engineering judgment.

You will shine if you have:

5+ years of professional software development experience.

Strong backend experience with Python and Django, including Django Rest Framework.

Solid frontend experience with React, modern hooks, and component-based architectures.

Experience working with asynchronous/background processing systems (e.g., Celery or similar).

Strong SQL skills and experience optimizing database queries.

Comfort working independently and owning complex features end-to-end.

Experience participating in code reviews and providing technical feedback to peers.

Strong attention to code quality, testing, and long-term maintainability.

Fluent written and spoken English for collaboration with distributed teams.

It doesn't hurt if you also have:

Experience working with legacy JavaScript codebases alongside modern React.

Familiarity with Redux, SWR, or similar state/data management patterns.
