Role Overview

We are looking for a talented Fullstack Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. You will design, build, and maintain features across the full stack — using Python for backend APIs and data processing, and React.js for rich, responsive user interfaces. You will work closely with Product Managers, Designers, and fellow engineers to ship high-quality software that directly impacts our clients and their hiring workflows.

Key Responsibilities

Backend — Python

• Design and develop scalable RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL services using FastAPI or Django REST Framework
• Model and optimise database schemas and queries in PostgreSQL or MySQL
• Build asynchronous processing pipelines using Celery, Redis, or message queues (RabbitMQ / Kafka)
• Integrate with third-party services: government data APIs, verification providers, and payment gateways
• Write comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using Pytest

Frontend — React.js

• Develop responsive, high-performance user interfaces with React.js and TypeScript
• Manage application state using Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or React Query
• Build and maintain a reusable component library that adheres to the design system
• Integrate REST/GraphQL APIs and handle real-time data via WebSocket or Server-Sent Events
• Optimise frontend performance through lazy loading, code splitting, and effective caching strategies

Collaboration & Engineering Culture

• Work closely with Product and Design to understand requirements and propose robust technical solutions
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to raising overall codebase quality and standards
• Engage in Agile/Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives
• Write clear technical documentation for APIs, modules, and architectural decisions

Requirements

Must-Have

• 3+ years of professional fullstack development experience, with at least 2 years in Python and React.js
• Strong Python skills: FastAPI or Django, ORM (SQLAlchemy / Django ORM), async programming
• Strong React.js skills: hooks, context API, TypeScript, and at least one state management library
• Solid experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or MySQL) and caching layers (Redis)
• Proficiency with Git, pull request workflows, and collaborative development practices
• Working knowledge of web application security: JWT/OAuth2, HTTPS, SQL injection, XSS prevention

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with containerisation: Docker, Docker Compose
• Familiarity with cloud platforms: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda) or GCP equivalents
• Knowledge of microservices architecture or domain-driven design (DDD)
• Experience with Next.js, Vite, or other modern React frameworks
• Open source contributions or a strong personal project portfolio

General

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• Good English communication skills.
