Job Position: Software Engineer – Rust & Python (Django)

Job Location: Lekki, Lagos

Job Description

  1. You will be joining the team as a Backend Engineer focused on building and managing resilient API & services infrastructure. This is an opportunity to play a critical role in our success story.
  2. The ideal candidate is someone who has gained experience working with a product development agency, and wants to join a startup, not because it is cool, but because they feel ready to maximise their potential by focusing on one product.

Job Responsibilities

  1. API Development: Create and maintain RESTful or GraphQL APIs that enable communication between the front-end and back-end systems.
  2. Telephony System Management: Oversee and maintain the telephony core environment, ensuring its optimal performance and reliability.
  3. Security: Implement security best practices to protect data and prevent unauthorized access. This includes encryption, authentication, and authorization.

Job Requirements

  2. You are experienced with Git, Rust(Axum) and Python(Django) technologies.
  3. Work with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) to design schemas, create tables, and optimize queries.
  4. Have an extensive background in Redis and caching expertise.
  5. You have an interest in how systems are built, whether machines or software.
  6. You are more interested in the problem than in the product. You are not just someone who learnt to write codes, you are a problem solver, an engineer.
  7. You love to accomplish something every day. You are intentional about how you spend your time.
  8. Knowledge of telephony protocols (e.g. SIP) and standards is a big plus.
  9. Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
