Expected contract duration: 6-12 months

Overview
The client is a tech-enabled e-commerce company building out their internal web application with proprietary tooling and a broad range of features for our employees and partners.

The responsibilities of the role are mostly back-end (Python/Django/Celery/Postgres/AWS) with minimal front-end (HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS).
The client would prefer someone who has experience working with generative AI provider APIs (GPT4o, Sonnet 3.5, Llama 3.1 405b, etc). There is an element of web scraping, though they're very open to using a third party API for the actual scraping so this is not a requirement. There are both elements of serverless and server-based workloads for this project.
They are looking for a developer who can take ownership of tasks and operate autonomously without needing a lot of management. This means being able to deliver quality work and not need too much direction, management or external QA.
They use Asana for task management and MS Teams for communication.
