Django Developer

Role overview

You’ll work on backend services that power client projects end to end: clean APIs, reliable background processing, well-structured data models, and HTMX-driven interfaces that stay fast without an SPA build step. We’re a remote-first team, so clear communication and solid engineering habits matter as much as raw output.

What you’ll work on

• Building and evolving REST APIs with Django REST Framework
• Server-rendered, interactive UI using HTMX and Django templates
• Data models, migrations and query patterns designed for performance
• Asynchronous workflows — queues, scheduled jobs, operational reliability
• Test coverage and CI-friendly development

How we work

• Remote-first, async communication, long stretches of focused work
• PR-based workflow with code review
• AI tooling in the loop by default — we expect you to use it, and to catch what it gets wrong
• Pragmatic documentation: decisions, APIs and handover notes

How we engage you

Be clear on this before you apply. This is an independent contractor engagement, not employment:

• Initial six-month term, renewable after review
• You invoice us monthly and are paid by bank transfer in INR
• You are responsible for your own income tax, professional tax and GST where applicable
• You provide your own laptop, internet and development tooling
• No PF, gratuity, paid leave or medical insurance — the rate reflects that

If that structure doesn’t suit you, we’d rather you knew now than after an interview.

Interview process

1. Short intro call (experience + role fit)
2. Technical discussion (Django/DRF, HTMX, architecture, debugging)
3. Small take-home or live exercise (scoped and time-boxed)
4. Final conversation (ways of working + offer)

How to apply

Email us your resume and a short note about the most recent Django project you shipped:

• What the system did
• What you built personally
• One technical problem you solved and how
• How you use AI tooling day to day, and where you’ve seen it get things wrong
