Would you like to work in a small, stable, and growing company that values work/life balance and has lots of interesting work?

How about doing a full rewrite of a digital product?

Then look no further!

I am working with a lovely little, fully remote company, that has asked me to find them a cracking Senior Python Django Developer to join their ranks and expand their team, bringing knowledge and expertise to help them deliver on a big workload.

They have a major product that has been built in PHP and Craft CMS, that they want to rebuild, from scratch, using Python and Django, with WagTail, TypeScript and a modern FE framework like React/Vue, hosted on AWS. They would ideally like to go live with this product early next year, so time is of the essence on this project.

You will be joining a small digital team, consisting of a lead developer that is a PHP specialist, and an IT Engineer who is teaching himself Python and Django, so you’ll be their only Python person, at least initially. It would be great if you’re happy and able to teach/ mentor the IT Engineer in the ways of Python! They have a relatively complex AWS setup, so AWS skills would be very useful here!

To excel in this role, you’ll need strong skills in Python, specifically with the Django framework and DRF, as well as proficiency in JavaScript with Vue or React. Experience with AWS, containerization, and a solid understanding of CI/CD and test automation are also essential. Additionally, familiarity with Wagtail, Terraform, and JAMstack technologies like Vite, Astro, or Hugo would be advantageous.

It’s important to note that you will be making the big technical calls on this project, and working fairly autonomously, so working as a sole developer needs to be something you’re comfortable with to have a good time in this role.

We have worked with this company for a while now and having talked to people we’ve placed, who are still there, was really handy- they have said that it’s a company that treats its people like adults, there isn’t any drama, and they are enjoying it there!

Whilst they all work fully remotely, they do like to meet up for socials, roughly every month or two, so you can get in-person social interaction with this role and the full flexibility that fully remote work brings.

If this sounds good to you, hit apply now or drop me a line to find out more!

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
