• Strong ability to write well-structured, idiomatic, Python and Go with a deep understanding of the Django ecosystem.
• Hands-on experience integrating payment systems (Stripe, Worldpay, Braintree, or similar)
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical architecture discussions and produce clear, defensible design decisions with appropriate trade-off analysis.
• Experience with RESTful API design, WebSockets, and asynchronous/event-driven architectures.
• Strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch) including schema design, query optimization, indexing and transactional integrity.
• Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and modern DevOps tooling.
• React (or similar) development experience — comfortable contributing to or reviewing frontend work within a full-stack platform context.
• Reliable and dependable – you follow through, communicate proactively, and treat your commitments seriously.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable driving alignment across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.

Preferred

• Background in trading, futures, prop trading, or fintech environments — you understand the domain, the stakes, and the performance expectations.
• Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration in production environments.
• Familiarity with distributed systems patterns: message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), caching strategies (Redis), and service-to-service communication.
• Experience operating in multi-team engineering organizations with shared codebases or platform dependencies.
• Exposure to observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging, and distributed tracing.
