Python/Django Backend Developer

Full-time. Lekki, Nigeria.Lekki, Nigeria.

At WePrototype Technologies, we help founders build successful startups. As a team, we are relentless. That is our core DNA. We are not done, until our clients achieve product market fit. We are more than a technology company, we are a product innovation firm, working with founders to build the right product for the right customers.

We are nothing without our people, and our growth in the last year is a testament to the commitment and relentlessness of the team. We hire the brightest young people, who are looking for opportunities to master their craft and showcase their potential. A huge part of our motivation is to be able to point at a potential unicorn and say, “we worked with Founder X to build this”.

As Django Backend Developer, you will be pivotal to the continuous success of the products we help founders build. Your primary focus will be the development of all server-side logic, ensuring fault tolerance, and high performance to requests from the front-end.

YOUR DUTIES

• Design and create RESTful APIs for mobile and web frontend.
• Work closely with UX Designers, and Front-end Developers.
• Participate in architectural, design and product discussions.
• Deploy to serverless environments such as AWS, Heroku and GCP.
• Work in an agile environment with a team of engineers

OUR CRITIERIA

Our team of eleven include full time Product Designers, Software Engineers, Product Managers, and Product Marketing Experts. We are coordinated by two internal operating objectives – Dependability, and Quality. While we are a diverse bunch, we do seem to have a preference for people who are extremely dependable and have a keen eye for details. You could say, it is our culture.

Here is what we would expect you to have:

• BSc/HND degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field.
• Experience developing RESTful APIs as part of a microservice architecture.
• 3 - 5 years work experience with Django Framework.
• Solid database skills in a relational database (i.e., PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).
• Keen eye for details, borderline perfectionist.
• Experience deploying Python applications into production.
• Strong knowledge of version control.

If these sounds like you, and you are excited about joining a young team working with founders to build startups, then we really want to meet you.
