We are looking for a skilled Django Developer to join our growing team. You will play a key role in building and enhancing our web applications, ensuring they are secure, scalable, and high‑performing.

• Design and implement scalable RESTful APIs and integrate with third‑party services.
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code following best practices.
• Collaborate with front‑end developers, product managers, and designers to define and deliver features.
• Optimize applications for speed, security, and scalability.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues in production and staging environments.
• Maintain database models, migrations, and queries with efficiency.
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and process improvements.

Who are we looking for

• Experience : 2–5 years of professional experience as a Django Developer or in a similar backend role.
• Technical Skills :
  • Strong knowledge of Python and Django + Django Templating Language (DTL)
  • Experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar)
  • Experience in building and consuming RESTful APIs
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms (especially AWS) is an advantage
• Mindset : Problem‑solving attitude, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn new technologies.
• Collaboration : Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a cross‑functional team.

Compensation

Your initial compensation will be 100% in FlexUp equity (Credits and Tokens) for the first ~6 months, until we raise external funding or begin generating revenues. To understand how FlexUp equity works, please refer to the FlexUp Economic Model Overview.

We understand that everyone’s situation is different. If needed, we are open to adapting:

• Scenario A : You currently have a job and need stable income. You may apply for a part‑time position during the first phase, allowing you to maintain your current revenue stream while contributing to FlexUp and gradually transitioning to full‑time later.
• Scenario B : You do not currently have income and require some cash. In limited cases, we may be able to offer a modest portion of your compensation in cash, within the limits of our current financial resources.

Benefits

This is more than just a job; it’s a chance to be a foundational member of a company set to redefine the entrepreneurial landscape.

• Bold Vision & Innovation : Join a truly innovative company with a bold vision to reinvent how business is done. You’ll be at the forefront of building a fairer, more transparent, and collaborative economic model for entrepreneurs worldwide.
• Meaningful Impact : Make a tangible difference every day. Your work will directly empower entrepreneurs and startups to launch, grow, and succeed, contributing to a more dynamic and equitable economy.
