About the role

Role Overview We are hiring a high-aptitude Computer Science graduate who wants to become a strong full stack software engineer and is willing to put in the work to get there. This role is designed for someone early in their career, but the performance bar is not low. We will invest heavily in training, mentorship, and real engineering experience, and in return we want someone who learns fast, takes ownership, and grinds when the work demands it. This opportunity comes with serious growth potential, where you are the driver of your own success. This person will be working primarily in a Python and Django stack, with meaningful exposure to frontend development with Vue.js, DevSecOps, cloud engineering in Azure, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Helm and modern engineering practices.

  • Support CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and related tooling
  • Help manage and improve containerized deployments with Helm and Kubernetes
  • Troubleshoot production and non-production issues across application, infrastructure, and pipeline layers
  • Write clean, maintainable code and improve it through review and feedback
  • Create tests, debug failures, and help raise engineering quality across the stack
  • Produce solid technical documentation, implementation notes, and operational runbooks
  • Learn new tools, frameworks, and patterns quickly and apply them effectively
  • Step into adjacent areas such as platform engineering, automation, or data engineering when needed
