Summary

We're looking for a Python developer to help out with an existing web application that manages internal workflows, data, and business operations. The platform is already live and being used, so this isn't a greenfield project. We have a list of features and improvements that need to be built, along with a few integrations and backend tasks that have piled up. Some of the things you'll be working on: -Building new backend functionality -Extending existing API endpoints -Adding business logic around workflows and data processing -Integrating a couple of third-party services -Improving database queries and overall performance -Fixing a few issues along the way as you touch related areas Tech stack is Python (FastAPI/Django), PostgreSQL, Docker, REST APIs. This is probably a good fit for someone who is comfortable jumping into an existing codebase, figuring things out without needing a ton of guidance, and shipping clean, production-ready code. If you've worked on SaaS products, internal business tools, workflow systems, logistics, CRM/ERP-type platforms, or other data-heavy applications, definitely reach out.
