Yukerja Summary
The Senior Backend Engineer (Python + Django) role at CommIT is curated from Himalayas (category Teknologi & IT). This role is marked as remote — check timezone and location requirements on the official listing. Yukerja.com is not the employer — applications are handled on the official source site.
Description
We help people remove their personal information from data broker websites and take back control of their online privacy. We’re a fully remote company headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to work closely with the founders on both product development and technical direction. This role is open to candidates based in Latin America.
What you'd work on in your first quarter:
You'd be writing code in our Django backend, which powers both the consumer dashboard and the B2B platform:
- New features for the APIs that power our consumer dashboard and customer reporting
- Performance and reliability work in our Celery and RabbitMQ pipelines
- Integrations with third-party services like payment providers and identity providers (Stripe, WorkOS SSO)
- Code review, both giving and receiving, on a small backend team of other Senior Engineers
We don't have a rigid roadmap of "first 30 days, first 60 days" — you'd pick up real work in your first week.
Requirements
What we're looking for:
- 6+ years building production web applications
- 3+ years with Python and Django
- Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis in production (day-1 pipeline scope)
- Working knowledge of CS fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, SQL, system design
- Strong written communication; comfortable working async across time zones
- Self-direction and follow-through
- Fluency in English
Strong plus:
- DRF and/or django-ninja
- Postgres tuning and query analysis
- Kubernetes and AWS
- Stripe, WorkOS SSO, or other third-party API integrations
- HTMX, React, or both
- Background in consumer privacy or adjacent industries
- Experience with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, etc.)
