- Run performance and stress testing to validate the system scales
- Optimize data models and database performance (Postgres, SQL/NoSQL)
- Deploy and maintain services on Kubernetes; conduct code reviews and keep docs to standard
- Advise on Python/Django best practices and support knowledge transfer to internal staff
What we're looking for:
- 5–8 years building production Python/Django systems
- Hands-on Kubernetes deployment/maintenance, Docker, Git-based distributed workflows
- Database optimization experience (Postgres, SQL/NoSQL)
- Agile / CI-CD delivery and strong QA testing discipline
- Premio: experience delivering web solutions for low-bandwidth / constrained environments
- Fluent English (additional languages like italian a plus)
