What you’ll do
- Take over and maintain an existing Django application, building on knowledge shared during the transition.
- Investigate and fix bugs, and contribute to ongoing application maintenance.
- Design and develop new features within the existing application.
- Work with the team to review code and deliver changes that are clear, maintainable, and appropriate for the application.
- Use AI tools to support onboarding, code review, and development while taking ownership of the work and keeping generated code focused and reviewable.
- Take part in Nortal’s Technical Interviewer Program, conducting technical interviews for your account and other accounts to help build the teams behind Nortal’s growth.

- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field
- Senior-level experience or above, with a high degree of autonomy.
- Strong, hands-on Django experience is required.
- Availability to work full time, eight hours per day, during European working hours.
- A thoughtful approach to AI-assisted development, using it to support your work without generating large volumes of code that require extensive team review.
