Non Union Python Django Backend Developer Jobs in Milwaukee, WI

Quest CE is seeking a talented Full-Stack Developer with a strong front-end focus to join our Stack Overhaul team as we continue modernizing our core technology platform.

This role will primarily support the front-end side of our modernization initiative, helping build clean, intuitive, responsive, and efficient user experiences using Svelte, SvelteKit, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Tailwind CSS.
