Remote

Python Developer

Crypto's here to stay. That's one thing we're sure of. But what its future looks like—that's something we need you to create.

We're looking for the brightest and the best. And because we work pretty much everywhere across the Central European timezone, we aren't about to let borders stand in our way.

The role

We are looking for a Mid-Level Python Developer who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys building scalable backend systems. You’ll work on developing new microservices and improving existing ones that power key parts of our trading infrastructure. If you’ve built resilient, observable, and performant services—and enjoy writing asynchronous code and integrating with external systems—you might be a great fit.

Responsibilities

  1. 01

    Design, build, and maintain Python-based microservices supporting trading operations.

  2. 02

    Develop new features for internal systems (e.g. funding rates prediction, exchange automation).

  3. 03

    Extend our exchange connectivity by adding new markets.

  4. 04

    Route/Handle data from trading across our internal systems.

  5. 05

    Troubleshoot and resolve production issues using observability tools (logs, metrics, alerts).

  6. 06

    Deploy and monitor services in a Kubernetes environment using Docker, CI/CD, and Helm.

  7. 07

    Collaborate closely with traders, C++ engineers, QA, and data teams to align on business needs.

Required Skills & Experience

  1. 01

    Minimum 4-5 years of backend development experience with Python.

  2. 02

    Strong experience with asynchronous programming and parallelism in Python.

  3. 03

    Proficiency in at least one modern Python web framework (FastAPI, Django, or Flask).

  4. 04

    Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred).

  5. 05

    Comfortable with Docker and CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc).

  6. 06

    Solid understanding of service monitoring using Sentry, Prometheus, or Grafana.

  7. 07

    Ability to diagnose and fix incidents in remote production environments.

Bonus Points

  1. 01

    Experience with Kubernetes and Helm for scalable deployments.

  2. 02

    Familiarity with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Redis PubSub for event-driven architectures.

  3. 03

    Experience with NoSQL databases (Redis, DynamoDB, etc).

  4. 04

    Understanding of trading systems, high-volume data environments, or HFT workflows.

What we offer

  • Flexible Hours

    Flexible hours

    Although we work more or less in a Central European timezone, flexible hours are still part of the package. Because only you know when, and where, you're most productive.

  • Relocation Packages

    Relocation packages

    Want to work in the Dubai office? We'll help you, and those closest to you, make the move, get set up, and get settled.

  • Annual Workations

    Annual workations

    Twice a year, we pack our bags and head off on a week-long work retreat so we can hang out in real life.
