Senior Backend Developer Python (CDI - remote)

Octopus Energy is seeking a Senior Backend Developer with at least 5 years of Python experience, proficiency in Django, and strong English and French language skills. The role requires expertise in domain modeling, REST APIs, and robust software development. This full-time position is fully remote, emphasizing autonomy and technical skills. The company promotes a supportive culture, offering flexible benefits and a commitment to inclusivity.
It would be helpful to have experience/expertise in the following (in rough priority order):
• Python (minimum 5 y.e.)
• Django (or equiv. web framework)
• Fluent in French, and lever B2 at least in English
• Domain modelling
• HTTP and REST APIs
• Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
• Celery and async processing
• Postgres
• Plus experience in the following would be a bonus:
• AWS
• Terraform, Packer, Consul
• React and Redux

This is a full remote position. We are therefore looking for senior developers. We need people working remotely to have a very good level of autonomy and strong technical abilities. If you are not senior, we may have space for you but it will not be in a remote position.
