Overview
Senior Django/Drf Developer Jobs in Dubai, UAE at Shoutit
Senior Django / Drf Developer at Shoutit Dubai, United Arab Emirates Shoutit is searching for a Django Developer to maintain and further develop its backend.
Project  is a marketplace where buyers and sellers use messenger to send photos and videos about the items and services they are offering or requesting in their area or anywhere in the world. Since its launch last year, Shoutit gained over 200k users. We recently relaunched with new web and mobile app designs and we are averaging 1k signups a day.
Our users generate a good amount of content such as posts, likes, and many chat messages.
Our backend is a Django service running inside a Docker container. There are other services that run along with the main one:
Redis, load balancer, queues, etc. We use Postgre
SQL for persistence, Redis for caching, and Elasticsearch for retrieving search results and users’ homepage feeds. Something to note is that the backend is completely separated from the web app. It works only as an API serving RESTful endpoints for Shoutit API clients. We believe this makes development and maintenance easier where backend developers only need to care about the API endpoints and not the frontend.
The API has a Wiki hosted on Github and it is rich in articles that explain every concept of Shoutit. There are also API Swagger docs for the clients’ developers to use and test while developing their apps.
Responsibilities Continuously look for ways to improve Shoutit’s APITake ownership of sections of Shoutit‘s backend services
