Senior Python/Django Engineer

We have a remote-first culture, and this position can be based anywhere. We encourage you to work in the way that best suits you. The company is led by a software architect (the founder actually codes), so you’ll never feel like a cog in the machine. Everyone has the chance to make decisions that steer the company as a whole.

While we are technology agnostic and believe in using the right tools for a given challenge, we are experts in cutting-edge frameworks and platforms, such as Flutter/Dart, Google Cloud Platform/AWS/Kubernetes, Python/Django, and Terraform, to name very a few. This is a full-time position.

This is a full-time position reporting to the Chief Technology Officer. For this role, we are considering candidates who are remote-based. Apexive offers different work modes to meet the variety of needs and preferences of our team. Learn more about our engineering philosophies, tools, and some of the challenges we’ve been solving on our Engineering blog.
