Requirements

We would love you to have experience with some of the tools we use, but it's not a requirement. Instead, we're eager for you to desire to learn and develop yourself. So, at a minimum, we would be looking for you to demonstrate proven experience working in a modern tech stack using Python and, ideally, SQLAlchemy or Django.

If you are passionate about delivering code, and you love solving complex problems and working in a team with a strong sense of mission is something you crave, then we would love to talk to you.
