Apexive is a boutique software studio that creates top-notch technology for startups. 

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. 

If you join us, you will take a leading role in the team and potentially will help us to grow the team. You will be mentored by very experienced architects and also will get an opportunity to mentor. 

Your day-to-day responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain Backend solutions using Django
• Collaborating directly with our clients while helping them build great products
• Build docker images that can run on top of AWS or other PaaS
• Model databases using MySQL, Postgres, DynamoDB
• Participate in Sprint Plannings and daily stand-up meetings
• Participating in code review and pair programming as a part of your workflow
• Taking an active part in our learning and knowledge-sharing culture

In order to succeed, you'll likely need the following skills:

• 4+ years of Python/Django experience
• Experience with RESTful backend applications, specially built with Django
• An inability to write anything but clean, maintainable code.
• Strong aversion to hard code
• Experience with deployment processes like AWS, Heroku
• Being up-to-date with the latest news and technologies about the Backend
• High English proficiency as our company language is English
• Ability to work independently
• Alignment with our values, including getting things done attitude
