About the team You will work in a small development team, in direct contact with the client. Flat structure, short decision-making path, 100% remote work.

- Designing asynchronous systems: workers, queues, and background processing (Celery + RabbitMQ)
- Designing database schemas and optimizing queries in PostgreSQL
- Maintaining infrastructure as code (AWS + Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines (Docker, CircleCI)
- Responsibility for architectural decisions — from design to deployment
- Support and mentoring of other developers and conducting code reviews
- Direct communication with the client on the technical side
