Job Summary
Aretum is seeking a skilled and motivated Backend Developer. As a Backend Developer you will be responsible for providing expert technical support, maintenance, and enhancement of a client application within an Agile, sprint-based development environment. The ideal candidate leverages strong backend development expertise in Python, AWS, RESTful APIs, databases, and scalable data solutions to ensure application performance, availability, and integration with TypeScript-based front-end components.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree (3 years of additional experience is acceptable in lieu of a degree)
  • Experience using modern software to prototype and deploy backend web applications
  • Experience using web programming languages (e.g., Ruby, Python) and web development frameworks (e.g., Django, Rails)
  • Experience developing and consuming web-based, RESTful APIs
  • Experience with relational and non-relational database systems
  • Proficiency with scalable search technology
  • Competence in handling and scaling large data sets and their storage
  • Experience using version control systems
  • Experience working in a team environment that uses agile methodologies
  • Experience authoring developer-friendly documentation
  • Experience communicating technical concepts to a non-technical audience

Travel Requirements
This is a remote position; however, occasional travel may be required based on project needs, client meetings, team collaboration events, or training sessions. Travel is expected to be less than 10% and will be communicated in advance whenever possible.
EEO Statement
Aretum is committed to fostering a workplace rooted in excellence, integrity, and equal opportunity for all. We adhere to merit-based hiring practices, ensuring that all employment decisions are made based on qualifications, skills, and ability to perform the job, without preference or consideration of factors unrelated to job performance.
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, Aretum complies with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws.
We are proud to support our nation's veterans and military families, providing career opportunities that honor their service and experience.
