Required

• Strong ability to present and explain complex ideas clearly to non-technical colleagues.
• Demonstrated ability to apply design patterns for creating modular and efficient software, with the ability to teach others how to solve architectural problems.
• Extensive experience with Python, including developing applications and complex data processing tasks. Familiarity with Django or Flask.
• Advanced experience with PostgreSQL, including query optimization, joins, stored procedures, and performance tuning.
• Practical experience with Linux, Bash scripting, Docker containers, and AWS services (EC2, RDS, CloudFront).
• A minimum of seven years of full-time professional experience as a backend software engineer.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent training in the principles of software engineering.
• Research shows that people of different backgrounds read job postings differently. If you don’t think you meet all of the qualifications but do think you’d be a great match for us, please consider applying and sharing more in your application answers. We’d love to talk with you to see what skills you can bring to our team.
• Our team is fully distributed, so you should be comfortable with remote work. This role is a full-time individual contributor role. While you can be located anywhere that our EOR (Deel) supports, our core hours are 10am to 2pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, with team members choosing either an early start or later stop as suits them.
• You should be inspired by our mission to improve the lives of smallholder coffee farmers, and have an interest in sustainability. You should have a deep empathy for users of our tools and understand the importance of supporting the work of other teams. Because operational and business needs can be ambiguous and change on a short time-scale, you should have a love for environments with uncertainty, and enjoy not only solving problems, but discovering and demystifying them.
• We are a small team! You should be comfortable working both independently and as a thoughtful collaborator, sensitive to the legibility and maintainability of your code when in the hands of your teammates.
