Senior Backend Engineer (Python + Django)

We help people remove their personal information from data broker websites and take back control of their online privacy. We’re a fully remote company headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to work closely with the founders on both product development and technical direction.

This role is open to candidates based in Latin America.

The position is primarily backend-focused, built around Python and Django, with occasional frontend work when it adds value — mainly HTMX and lightweight React components. We’re looking for someone who enjoys owning features end-to-end: from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and long-term reliability in production.

What you'd work on in your first quarter:

You'd be writing code in our Django backend, which powers both the consumer dashboard and the B2B platform:

New features for the APIs that power our consumer dashboard and customer reporting

Performance and reliability work in our Celery and RabbitMQ pipelines

Integrations with third-party services like payment providers and identity providers (Stripe, WorkOS SSO)

Code review, both giving and receiving, on a small backend team of other Senior Engineers

We don't have a rigid roadmap of \"first 30 days, first 60 days\" — you'd pick up real work in your first week.

What we're looking for:

6+ years building production web applications

3+ years with Python and Django

Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis in production (day-1 pipeline scope)

Working knowledge of CS fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, SQL, system design

Strong written communication; comfortable working async across time zones

Self-direction and follow-through

Strong plus:

DRF and/or django-ninja

Postgres tuning and query analysis

Kubernetes and AWS

Stripe, WorkOS SSO, or other third-party API integrations

HTMX, React, or both

Background in consumer privacy or adjacent industries

Experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, etc.)
