Designing and building robust APIs You will be responsible for creating clean, well-documented REST APIs using Django/FastAPI/django-ninja that frontend teams can depend on. You should be opinionated about API design and data contracts while remaining pragmatic

Collaborating across disciplines You will work closely with frontend developers, product partners, and internal customers to translate business needs into simple, scalable backend solutions. Clear communication and a problem-solving mindset are essential
Shaping backend standards and best practices As a level III developer, you will help establish and reinforce patterns around API structure, data access, testing, and deployment to ensure consistency and speed across the team
