  • Advise on Python/Django best practices and support knowledge transfer to internal staff

What we're looking for:

  • Hands-on Kubernetes deployment/maintenance, Docker, Git-based distributed workflows
  • Database optimization experience (Postgres, SQL/NoSQL)
  • Agile / CI-CD delivery and strong QA testing discipline
