Looking for your next mission at a start-up using AI for good? This scale-up is transforming how businesses handle customer calls — using speech-to-text and AI to enhance quality assurance in regulated industries. Think fintech, insurance, healthcare – and think impact.


We’re scaling fast and looking for a Python (or Full Stack) Developer to help evolve our backend platform. You’ll be joining a tight-knit, product-led engineering squad working in fast sprints and building genuinely meaningful software that gets used every day.


🧡 Why Join?


  • Backed by top-tier accelerators (seed funding recently) + trusted by major financial players
  • Genuine scale-up energy: small team, BIG ambition
  • Remote-first team
  • Flat culture: ideas over egos, impact over hours
  • Voice tech + compliance + AI = 🚀 market opportunity


🔍 What You’ll Be Doing


  • Writing clean, scalable backend code in Python
  • Building and maintaining RESTful APIs using Django
  • Designing efficient, secure integrations with AWS services (e.g. S3, Lambda, EC2)
  • Improving architecture as they scale from startup to global SaaS player
  • Collaborating across product, dev, and QA to iterate and ship fast


💡 What You’ll Bring


  • 3+ years Python development experience
  • Solid hands-on Django skills (ORMs, migrations, auth, views)
  • Cloud confidence – AWS preferred (ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS etc.)
  • Comfortable with CI/CD, Git, Agile environments
  • Bonus if you’ve worked with speech/audio data or any AI-driven product


🎯 Sound good? 🎯


This team is scaling sustainably, hiring fast but with care. If you love Python, like clean code and real-world impact — let’s chat.
