Senior Backend Developer (Python, Node)

We're looking for a seasoned backend developer with a love for architecture, systems and services. Someone who can work between application components, internal code structures, and build on top of internally and externally developed platforms. Our work is serious, creative, fun and taxing at times. We’ve found that not taking yourself seriously is helpful. As a team, we like to laugh, and our hope is that you do too. Okay, back to the serious stuff...

The primary responsibility of this role will be to build flexible backend infrastructures which can efficiently extend into APIs, content management systems and other server-side processes. The role requires a thorough understanding of modern web libraries and frameworks, but more importantly, the knowledge of how to best connect those technologies given the context.

This is a contract position with the possibility for extension or a full-time position.
