SnapClass - Senior Python Developer

Hey there! I’m Peter, co-founder of Snap Class & iPhone Photography School. 

Businesses are drowning in data but often lack the skills to do anything meaningful with it. Hiring data engineers isn’t always realistic. Analytics software is overwhelming. And reports often can’t be trusted. 

We’re on a mission to revolutionise data analytics for small businesses with an intuitive, AI-powered platform that makes working with data feel effortless — no jargon, no complexity, just clear, trustworthy insights in seconds. 

Unlike most platforms that stop at visualisation, we focus on actionable insights — what the data means and what to do next. It’s built for everyone on the team, not just data experts, with a clean interface and plain language that makes data-driven decisions easy and intuitive.

This isn’t another vague startup idea from an inexperienced team. We’ve spent years building and scaling online businesses, and this is our next big leap. Grounded in real-world challenges we’ve faced ourselves — and shaped by feedback from actual users — we’re building something people genuinely need. 

With a beta version already in testing and a passionate team behind it, we’re now looking for driven backend developers to join us to help bring our platform to market.

We’re looking for a Senior Python Developer who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys working with Python to build high-quality backend functionality.

You'll play a crucial role in bringing our application to life.

In this role, you will:

🚀 Build and optimize backend functionality using Python (Django/FastAPI/Flask)
🔍 Ensure the system is scalable, secure, and well-structured
⚡ Collaborate with the wider team to understand requirements and deliver solutions that work seamlessly
🛠️ Take ownership of backend-related challenges and implement effective solutions
🤖 Stay up to date with AI advancements and explore ways to integrate them into our platform

You’ll be working 40 hours per week on a long-term contract basis. Our team is mostly based in Europe, so you’ll need to overlap with them for at least 4-5 hours daily, including a mandatory call at 12:00 UTC.

Requirements

To excel in this role, you need:

✅ 4+ years of experience working with Python (Django/FastAPI/Flask)
✅ Strong knowledge of Python and backend development best practices
✅ Ability to work independently and take full ownership of tasks
✅ Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think beyond just writing code
✅ Great communication skills - ability to work effectively with non-technical team members

Brownie points: 

⭐ Experience working with AI or building AI-powered applications
⭐ Familiarity with other backend technologies beyond Python
⭐ A strong passion for learning and staying updated with the latest trends in development

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about what they do, productive, and always looking for ways to improve. 

You should be a broad thinker who understands when technical solutions are needed - and when they’re not. 

Being autonomous and resourceful is key, as we give a lot of freedom, but expect responsibility in return.

Benefits

What’s in it for you?

💰 $5500 - $6500 per month* (negotiable)
🌍 Full-time & fully remote role with flexible working hours
🏖️ 30 days of paid vacation per year
