We’re seeking an accomplished **Staff Software Engineer (Django specialist)** to serve as the go-to expert for one of Europe’s fastest-growing legal-tech scale-ups. Our AI-enabled products are already in the hands of thousands of law-firm and in-house customers; now we need the deepest Django expertise to harden and extend the platform’s core while we accelerate feature velocity and market expansion.

**Reporting directly to the Head of Engineering**, you will own our most complex services and architectural decisions, shaping everything from database schemas and asynchronous task flows to performance tuning and security hardening. Familiarity with Vue 3 or modern frontend tooling is required to enable you to work on features from end to end.

For a builder who thrives on untangling intricate code paths, crafting elegant abstractions, and elevating team capability through example and guidance, this role offers uncommon influence on a modern, cloud-native platform poised for rapid growth.

**Your Challenge and Opportunity in This Role**

This is a rare chance to define—at staff-engineer depth—how a rapidly expanding product is designed, shipped, and maintained. As our resident Django authority, you will translate nuanced product requirements into resilient, scalable software; establish service boundaries, migration strategies, and CI/CD guardrails; and ensure our Python stack is battle-tested in production. Expect genuine ownership of mission-critical code, a seat at the table for technical strategy, and the ability to shape how our engineering organisation solves its hardest problems as we scale across markets and use cases.

## Tasks

**Strategy & Implementation**

*   Architect and deliver robust, scalable solutions for the entire product suite, taking full ownership of complex initiatives end-to-end.
*   Design and evolve sophisticated systems that meet performance, security, and maintainability goals.
*   Define and champion best practices for development, testing, and deployment across teams and services.
*   Remain a core hands-on contributor across the stack, debugging the hardest issues and setting the quality bar through example.

**Technical Leadership (Lateral)**

*   Act as the primary technical authority and point of escalation for intricate engineering challenges.
*   Mentor engineers via design reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing sessions, raising overall team proficiency without direct line management.
*   Drive adoption of engineering standards, observability, and continuous improvement, ensuring repeatable, high-quality delivery at scale.

**Cross-functional Collaboration**

*   Work closely with product, design, and AI engineering partners to translate ideas into reliable, user-facing functionality.
*   Partner with the Head of Engineering to refine the technical roadmap and align architectural decisions with business objectives.
*   Communicate complex software concepts and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, fostering informed, data-driven decisions.

## Requirements

**Technical Expertise**

*   Production-grade Python & Django mastery with clean, modular architecture patterns.
*   Modern frontend know-how in Vue 3 (preferred) or React for seamless end-to-end delivery.
*   Proven success scaling high-traffic systems: performance tuning, horizontal/vertical scaling, resiliency patterns.
*   Rigorous quality mindset: pytest unit suites, Cypress integration/e2e, and contract tests baked into CI.
*   Automation-first approach: GitHub Actions pipelines, Dockerised services, IaC with Terraform for reproducible environments.
*   Data-layer depth: PostgreSQL optimiser/tuning, Redis caching, event/queue pipelines with RabbitMQ or Kafka.
*   API craftsmanship: idiomatic REST and GraphQL design, versioning strategies, thorough documentation.
*   “Secure-by-default” practices: OWASP hardening, OAuth/OIDC/JWT flows, GDPR-compliant data handling.

**Soft Skills**

*   Operates independently as the primary technical point of escalation, driving solutions across the stack.
*   Mentors peers through design reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing, uplifting overall engineering quality.
*   Communicates complex software trade-offs clearly to engineers, PMs, and other non-technical stakeholders.

**Must have:**

*   **You must be located in the CET -2/+2 zone for this role!**
*   **You must have at least 4 years of experience with Django**
*   **You must have at least 8 years of professional experience as a Software Developer**
