• Develop, maintain, and scale RESTful APIs using FastAPI

• Practical knowledge of MongoDB and working with document-based data models
• Experience deploying to AWS, GCP, or both
• Proficient with Git and modern development workflows
• Familiarity with working in Agile teams
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• A start-up isn\’t your typical 9-5 – we\’re looking for someone with a passion to work hard and over-deliver

Nice to have:
