Why Apply to Koombea?

Did you know that Koombea is one of Latin America's fastest-growing software development companies? We help our clients all over the world build digital products that make users' lives better.
By joining our team, you will not only receive amazing benefits and become part of a flexible and innovative work culture. You will also get to share directly with some of the region's most talented and intelligent software developers.

The Job

As a Full-Stack Developer, your main goal is to build and scale a production Django/React monolith using AI as a core part of how you work. You'll own features end-to-end — from a Postgres data model to a deployed React interface on AWS — while keeping infrastructure costs, test coverage, and release safety front of mind. The foundation is solid engineering: strong programming fundamentals, architecture intuition, and comfort working inside a regulated, data-sensitive platform.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain full-stack features across a Django monolith, Postgres, and a React front end
• Build backend services and APIs in Python, and front-end functionality in React/TypeScript, for both web and mobile use cases
• Optimize query strategies, caching, and state management to improve performance and control infrastructure costs as the platform scales
• Write and expand automated test coverage (unit and end-to-end) as a standing priority, not an afterthought, to support safer, more frequent releases
• Design and maintain integrations with external platforms and third-party APIs
• Implement data models and workflows that respect the platform's regulatory requirements: PII encryption, background checks that cannot be reused across applications, and consent timestamps
• Collaborate daily with engineering teams in India and the U.S., writing clear async updates and documentation that hold up across time zones
• Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude) as a core part of your daily workflow, and review, refactor, and maintain clean codebases — both yours and AI-generated
• Work directly with product, leadership, and users to translate operational challenges into scalable technical solutions

What You'll Bring to the Team

4+ years of experience building production-grade applications across the full stack
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals and hands-on experience with React. You understand component architecture, state, and rendering — not just the framework's API.
• Solid experience with Python for backend services and APIs; experience with Django specifically is a strong plus
• Working knowledge of relational data modeling (SQL/Postgres) and comfort designing schemas for complex, high-volume operational data
• Experience with AWS or a comparable cloud environment
• Real, daily experience using AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude, or similar) in production work
• Testing mindset: experience writing unit and end-to-end tests, and thinking about coverage as part of shipping safely
• Experience with caching, query optimization, and other performance/cost-control techniques
• Comfort working with regulated or sensitive data (PII handling, compliance-driven data models) is a strong plus
• Good written and spoken English for daily communication
