Reporting to the Engineering Lead, you will build reliable backend services that power our lending platform. This is a role for a developer who cares about writing clean, readable code and wants to master modern software engineering practices under the guidance of a Senior team.
Tech Stack
Core: Modern Python (3.10+), React (Hooks/Context), REST APIs.
Quality: Pytest, Git, CI/CD.
Core Responsibilities
Build \& Maintain: Write clear, maintainable Python code for our backend services.
Fullstack Exposure: Contribute to React frontend tasks (wiring APIs, managing state, handling hooks like useState).
Quality First: Write robust unit tests (using pytest) and ensure code reliability.
Integrations: Consume REST APIs and handle common request/response patterns.
