What we’re looking for
For us, Senior isn’t a matter of years or of how many technologies you know. It’s how you work:
- You understand the problem before you solve it. You ask what the business or user actually needs, and sometimes the right answer is not to build anything.
- You choose the simplest solution that works.
- To you, complexity is a cost.
- You make trade-offs explicit and explain your reasoning.
- You own outcomes, not tasks.
- You surface risks early, say when a plan is no longer realistic, and see things through after release.
- You build things others can maintain.
- Your code is clear, tested and easy to evolve without you in the room.
- You think about what can go wrong. Failing dependencies, bad data, security and performance are part of the design, not an afterthought.
- You act like a consultant.
- You adapt how you communicate to engineers, product and clients, and you bring recommendations, not only problems.
- You make your team better. You give thoughtful reviews, share what you know and help others grow, without becoming a bottleneck.
- You keep learning. You get productive in unfamiliar systems and know when to ask for help.
- You use AI responsibly. It makes you faster, but you understand and validate everything before it ships.
- 4+ years building backends with Python and Django (Django REST Framework a big plus)
- Solid experience with PostgreSQL in production, including schema changes on live systems
- Hands-on experience with background processing (Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis or similar)
- You’ve built and maintained integrations with third-party APIs and know what happens when they fail
- You care about testing, code quality and constructive code reviews
- You’ve supported your own work in production: monitoring, debugging and incidents don’t scare you
- You’re comfortable in a large codebase shared with many engineers
- C1 English: you’ll work daily with a US-based team, in meetings and in writing
Funciones
- Build product features end to end on the backend, from the API to the database
- Connect the platform with hotel suppliers, booking systems, payment providers and AI services, and keep those connections reliable when the other side isn’t
- Design and run the background jobs that keep bookings, payments and data in sync
- Evolve the database of a live product without interrupting the people who rely on it
- Write short technical proposals before big changes, and review your teammates’ work
- Take your turn on call, help resolve production issues, and leave things better than you found them
Deseable
- Experience in the travel industry (hotels, airlines, cruises, booking systems)
- Experience with payments or financial flows (Stripe, invoicing, payouts)
- You’ve shipped AI-powered features to real users
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes or AWS
