About the company Our client is a software company. The role Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

Requirements What we're looking for - 4 to 7 years of software engineering experience. - Experience building and scaling core backend systems at an early-stage startup. - Track record of carrying server-side software from design through live operation, serving several million requests daily. - Hands-on experience with Python and a relational or cache data store. - Working knowledge of Next.js or React.
