Expanding the capabilities of our REST APIs: building new endpoints using the OpenAPI specification. Building new backend functionalities to help expand the feature set of our customer-facing products.

Tracking down and fixing bugs encountered by end users. Refactoring parts of the application that require modernization. Expanding the scope and coverage of the automated test suite. Requirements Powerful written and verbal communication skills. 5-10 years as a Python Developer. Experience with Flask or Django, with a strong preference for Flask experience.
