JOB PURPOSE
We are looking for a Senior Python Django Developer who has been involved in a wide range of impactful projects and knows how to help clients achieve their goals at scale.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
As a Senior Developer, you understand that there is rarely a single solution to a problem.

You are confident explaining complex technical decisions in clear, accessible language to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
You take ownership of projects from concept to delivery, proactively identifying risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement early in the process. You play a key role in shaping architecture, improving internal processes, and ensuring high-quality standards across all deliverables.
You are also a mentor to other developers, supporting junior and mid-level team members in their growth while fostering a collaborative and high-performing team environment. Alongside working on your own projects, you collaborate closely with front-end developers, designers, and external partners in integrated sprint teams to deliver exceptional digital products.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- a minimum of 6 years of Python backend web development experience (agency or product environment preferred)
- Strong experience with Django
- Experience with Wagtail CMS (or similar CMS platforms) is a plus
- Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining robust, scalable APIs consumed by multiple third parties
- Experience with complex system integrations across multiple external vendors
- Experience with Git and modern development workflows
- Solid understanding of database design, optimisation, and administration
- Strong experience with testing and quality assurance (unit, integration, etc.)
- Ability to own projects end-to-end, from planning through to delivery and support
- Experience identifying issues early and proactively suggesting improvements to internal processes and workflows
- Confidence to challenge assumptions, contribute to technical discussions, and collaborate with external teams and vendors
- Experience mentoring junior and mid-level developers, providing guidance, code reviews, and technical leadership across projects
- A team-player mindset with strong initiative and leadership qualities
- Working proficiency in English
WE OFFER
- Transparent career development and pay;
- A flexible, hybrid working policy
- A rewarding, supportive and healthy company culture.
- Supplemental and additional health insurance;
- Referral bonus program.
- Stay happy and healthy with a contribution to your health through the OpenUp platform, and a multisport programme;
- A reputation for doing good. DEPT® has been a Certified B Corp® since 2021.
- Awesome clients. Whether big, small, local or global — at DEPT® you’ll get the opportunity to work with all of them. And we celebrate all of our successes together!
- The opportunity for possibility. We want to enable you to do what you do best and help you develop your skills further with training, development and certifications.
- Global annual DEPT® Cares Month in which employees come together and donate their skills to support local charities
