About the Role

We’re looking for a part-time Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale backend services that power our core products and support client-facing consulting engagements. This role blends strong technical execution with the ability to collaborate directly with clients to understand requirements and deliver high-quality solutions.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs
  • Develop backend services using Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django, or similar)
  • Deploy, operate, and monitor services running on AWS
  • Design and work with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and/or NoSQL databases (DynamoDB)
  • Work directly with consulting clients to understand technical requirements, clarify use cases, and support implementation
  • Translate client needs into technical designs and production-ready solutions
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code following modern engineering best practices
  • Collaborate asynchronously with internal teams in a remote environment
  • Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical design decisions
  • 3+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer (or equivalent hands-on project experience)
  • Strong experience building and consuming REST APIs
  • Proficiency in Python and backend frameworks (Flask, FastAPI, Django, etc.)
  • Experience deploying and running production services on AWS
  • Working knowledge of SQL and/or NoSQL databases
  • Comfort with Git-based workflows (PRs, code reviews, CI/CD)
  • Strong English communication skills
  • Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and clients
  • Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and thrive in a fully remote environment

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in consulting or client-facing engineering role
  • Experience translating ambiguous requirements into technical solutions
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code or CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience working on distributed or data-heavy systems
  • Fully remote, contractor-friendly engagement
  • High ownership: you’ll design and ship production-grade backend services end-to-end
  • Modern backend stack (Python + REST APIs) with strong engineering standards (testing, code reviews, CI/CD)
