Pharmacies benefit from a tailored CRM system for order management, inventory, and customer relationships, while producers and distributors gain access to data-driven market insights.

The Role

We are looking for a highly capable Senior Backend Engineer who wants to take full ownership of our technical backend operations. This is not a standard ticket-punching coding job. You will be the technical anchor of the company. While your core focus will be writing high-quality Django/Python code for complex integrations (like payment gateways and Ministry of Health APIs), you will also take the reins of our cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and security. You will work closely with management, mentor our remote junior developer, and act as the "go-to" person for all backend and server-related operations. For the right candidate, this role is a direct path to becoming our future Technical Lead.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Backend Development: Lead the development of our core SaaS platform using Python and Django. Architect solutions for complex features, regulatory integrations, and billing systems.
• Full DevOps Ownership: Take over and manage our cloud infrastructure. Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, Docker containerization, and server health.
• Security & Networking: Act as our first line of defense. Manage Cloudflare, configure WAF, monitor network traffic, and ensure our sensitive medical data meets strict compliance and security standards.
• Mentorship & Quality Assurance: Oversee, guide, and conduct code reviews for our remote junior backend developer, ensuring high-quality and scalable code delivery.
• Technical Strategy: Bridge the gap between product needs and technical execution, paving the way for the platform's long-term stability and scale.
• Agile Development & Execution: Drive development in a lean, Agile environment. Partner closely with the PM to translate market needs into scalable technical solutions, focusing on quick time-to-market while maintaining high engineering standards.
• AI & Future-Ready Tech Stack: Leverage AI tools to optimize internal development velocity. You will architect our backend to support advanced, data-driven features and emerging technologies, ensuring Jane remains at the forefront of the industry’s evolution.

Qualifications:

• Development: 4+ years of hands-on experience in Backend Development, with a strong focus on Python and Django.
• Infrastructure: Proven, independent experience managing cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and server architecture.
• Security: Hands-on experience with web security protocols, server hardening, Cloudflare, and WAF configurations.
• Leadership Mindset: A proactive "owner" mentality. You see a problem in production, you fix it.
• Communication: Fluent English for managing and communicating with our remote team members.

Bonus Points:

• Previous experience mentoring developers or leading a small team.
• Experience with integrations involving medical records, government APIs, or payment processors (PCI compliance).

Work Model: Hybrid (Binyamina office 3 days/week).
