Senior Backend Engineer (LATAM)

Role overview

Build and operate backend features for consumer and business-facing products that help people manage the removal of their personal information from data broker sites. The role combines hands-on Python and Django development with end-to-end ownership: you will help shape features, integrate external services, and monitor how your work performs after release. Occasional frontend contributions may be needed.

Responsibilities

- Develop APIs and product features for customer dashboards and reporting tools. - Improve the performance and reliability of background processing systems. - Build and maintain integrations with payment, identity, and other external services. - Participate in code reviews, offering clear feedback and incorporating input from other engineers. - Investigate production issues and follow through on fixes and improvements. - Clarify ambiguous requirements and communicate progress and technical decisions in writing, coordinating live when useful.

Requirements

- At least 10 years building production web applications, including 6 or more years using Python and Django. - Working knowledge of data structures, concurrency, SQL, and system design. - Strong written communication and the ability to collaborate asynchronously across time zones. - Self-direction, sound judgment, and follow-through on work from implementation through production support.

Nice to have

- Experience with Django REST Framework or django-ninja, plus Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, or PostgreSQL performance tuning. - Familiarity with Kubernetes, AWS, payment or identity integrations, and light frontend work using HTMX or React. - Experience in privacy-focused products or related fields, or effective use of AI coding assistants.
