• You are very comfortable with relational database usage, schema design and optimisation.
• You are highly proficient in Python and modern backend frameworks with solid experience designing RESTful APIs, GraphQL schemas, data models.
• You enjoy creating reproducible, repeatable make-based workflows that increase Developer Experience

• You thrive in a small, diverse team, excel under pressure, and proactively step into new challenges—start-up dynamism suits you
• You’re an ecowarrior at heart—motivated by building technology that combats climate change and delivers measurable societal impact
