Back-end Software Engineer

For us, Senior isn’t a matter of years or of how many technologies you know. It’s how you work:

• You understand the problem before you solve it. You ask what the business or user actually needs, and sometimes the right answer is not to build anything.

• You choose the simplest solution that works.

• To you, complexity is a cost.

• You make trade-offs explicit and explain your reasoning.

• You own outcomes, not tasks.

• You surface risks early, say when a plan is no longer realistic, and see things through after release.

• You build things others can maintain.

• Your code is clear, tested and easy to evolve without you in the room.

• You think about what can go wrong. Failing dependencies, bad data, security and performance are part of the design, not an afterthought.

• You act like a consultant.

• You adapt how you communicate to engineers, product and clients, and you bring recommendations, not only problems.

• You make your team better. You give thoughtful reviews, share what you know and help others grow, without becoming a bottleneck.

• You keep learning. You get productive in unfamiliar systems and know when to ask for help.

• You use AI responsibly. It makes you faster, but you understand and validate everything before it ships.

• 4+ years building backends with Python and Django (Django REST Framework a big plus)

• Solid experience with PostgreSQL in production, including schema changes on live systems

• Hands-on experience with background processing (Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis or similar)

• You’ve built and maintained integrations with third-party APIs and know what happens when they fail

• You care about testing, code quality and constructive code reviews

• You’ve supported your own work in production: monitoring, debugging and incidents don’t scare you

• You’re comfortable in a large codebase shared with many engineers

• C1 English: you’ll work daily with a US-based team, in meetings and in writing

Responsabilidades: • Build product features end to end on the backend, from the API to the database

• Connect the platform with hotel suppliers, booking systems, payment providers and AI services, and keep those connections reliable when the other side isn’t

• Design and run the background jobs that keep bookings, payments and data in sync

• Evolve the database of a live product without interrupting the people who rely on it

• Write short technical proposals before big changes, and review your teammates’ work

• Take your turn on call, help resolve production issues, and leave things better than you found them

Deseable: • Experience in the travel industry (hotels, airlines, cruises, booking systems)

• Experience with payments or financial flows (Stripe, invoicing, payouts)

• You’ve shipped AI-powered features to real users

• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes or AWS
