contributions will ensure that our applications are not only visually engaging but also robust, scalable, and
reliable.
Craft Engaging User Experiences
Utilize React/React Native to develop intuitive user interfaces that delight our users (both internal &
external). Your work will directly impact how entrepreneurs interact with our product, making their
experience as smooth and efficient as possible.
Architect Robust Backend Solutions
Leverage Python and Django to create efficient RESTful APIs and seamless database interactions. You’ll
ensure that our systems can handle growth while maintaining high performance.
Champion Scalability and Performance
Continually optimize our applications, ensuring that every feature you build meets high standards for
speed, scalability, and reliability.
Ensure Quality Through Testing
Write comprehensive unit and integration tests, ensuring that your code is resilient and that potential
issues are caught early.
Foster Continuous Improvement
Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends, and actively recommend improvements to our
development processes. Your insights will help drive our technology forward.
Collaborate Across Teams
Work closely with product, design, and engineering colleagues to turn complex challenges into simple,
compelling solutions that align with our mission and goals.

Experience:
1. Development Experience
You bring at least 4+ years of full stack development experience, ideally with a background in
FinTech or similar high-growth environments. You’re comfortable working in agile settings and
thrive in fast-paced, iterative development cycles.
2. Technically Versatile
You have hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks like React and React Native,
paired with solid backend expertise in Python (using frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, or
Flask). Your experience with relational databases (such as PostgreSQL) and cloud platforms (like
AWS) ensures that you can build and scale robust applications.
3. Clear Communicator
Whether you’re presenting ideas to the CEO or discussing technical challenges with your peers,
you can articulate complex concepts clearly and effectively.

4. Adaptable and Resilient
You embrace challenges, learn quickly from setbacks, and are always ready to pivot when
necessary. Your problem-solving skills are matched by your ability to remain calm under pressure.
5. Impact-Driven
You’re deeply committed to using technology to drive positive change. You see the value in
empowering small business owners and are excited to contribute to a mission that makes a real
difference.
6. A Great Team Player
You collaborate well with others, enjoy sharing knowledge, and value an environment where
everyone is encouraged to grow.
You’ll stand out for this role if you have
● Experience with mobile development (React Native)
● Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
● Exposure to GraphQL or similar API query languages
● Knowledge of microservices architecture and containerization (Docker)
