• Looking to grow professionally (and ideally looking to do it quickly!)
• At least 4 years of experience shipping production-quality code in both the FE and BE
• At least 2 years of experience in Django OR React (we can help you get up to speed in one, but not both)
• Experienced with Python and Javascript
• Experience using MySQL or some other SQL engine in a production environment
• Experience building complex and modern UIs

• AWS experience
