Position Senior Software Developer

Role Description

As a Senior Software Developer at the client, you will:

  • Build across our tech stacks:
    Develop our cloud services in AWS with terraform and Python, develop multiple custom front-ends with various Javascript frameworks, native Android, and maintain several app builds in Zoho Creator with Deluge. When you join the client, you'll build across our ecosystem, meaning you'll become a versatile, cross-functional engineer.
  • Own commercial outcomes:
    Being a developer at the client is not about coding all day. You'll be expected to own business outcomes and do work beyond software to make things happen. What good is code if it does not provide value for us or our customers?
  • Empathize with end users:
    You'll be expected to understand the needs of our customers and users—usually people in-country that have very different experiences of technology than you do. This will require empathy, patience, and the ability to challenge your own assumptions about how technology should work.
  • Coach & manage others:
    We have a talented, enthusiastic team of devs that could use your guidance and mentorship. Use your experience to improve our standard practices, coach others, and build our developer culture.
  • Advise on architecture & devops:
    You'll take a front-row seat in the architecture of new and existing systems, helping design them for long-term resilience and efficiency.

Ideal Background

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Technical Skills:
    Proficiency in programming languages such as JavaScript, Python, or similar. Requirement to be familiar with at least one backend framework such as FastAPI, including managing database, compute, and external integrations. Familiarity with front-end frameworks like Vue or UX design experience is a strong plus.
  • Technical Architecture:
    Demonstrated ability to design web and native apps with complex external integrations for resilience and efficiency.
  • Soft Skills:
    Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and a collaborative mindset.
  • Transcript to be submitted
  • Dev Ops:
    Familiarity with test-driven development, cloud architecture (AWS a plus), and building strong developer workflows.
  • Experience:
    6+ years of relevant experience in software development.
