About OrangeUni

OrangeUni is a fast-growing, remote-first tech company focused on delivering cutting-edge digital solutions worldwide. We thrive on innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to scalability, security, and excellent user experience.
We believe in autonomy, creativity, and inclusiveness, providing every team member room to grow and make an impact.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer with deep expertise in Vue.js on the frontend and Python/Django on the backend.
You will play a key role in building and maintaining scalable, high-performance web applications that offer seamless user experiences and robust backend services.
This position includes responsibilities across the full product lifecycle, including DevOps tasks such as containerization, deployment automation, and cloud infrastructure management—there is no separate DevOps team, so familiarity with these areas is essential.
Because our platform involves video streaming and media workflows, experience working with video (processing, streaming, encoding) is considered a valuable asset.
You’ll work closely with designers, backend/frontend peers, and product managers to deliver modern, efficient, and user-centric solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain modern web applications using Vue.js (Nuxt.js) and Python/Django
• Architect reusable frontend components and optimize applications for performance, scalability, and cross-browser compatibility
• Design and build RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework
• Manage containerization and deployment pipelines with Docker, contributing actively to CI/CD setup
• Oversee cloud services using AWS (e.g., S3, RDS, CloudFront) for hosting, storage, and data delivery
• Write and fine-tune complex SQL queries and database schemas in PostgreSQL
• Apply application security best practices, including OAuth integration
• Participate in cross-functional collaboration to define and deliver high-quality features
• Handle basic DevOps operations and infrastructure configuration as part of your development workflow

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software development experience, including:
  • 4+ years with Vue.js/Nuxt.js
  • 5+ years with Python/Django
• Advanced knowledge of JavaScript/ES6+, HTML5, and CSS3 (Sass/LESS)
• Proficiency in Vuex/Pinia, Webpack/Vite, and Django ORM
• Practical experience with Docker (Dockerfiles, docker-compose) and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions)
• Strong working knowledge of PostgreSQL and relational database design
• Experience using Celery and message brokers like Redis or RabbitMQ
• Competence in managing AWS infrastructure (S3, RDS, CloudFront, EC2)
• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress, Pytest)
• Solid understanding of Git workflows (GitFlow, merge requests, code review practices)
• English proficiency at B2 level or higher — clear, effective communication is critical in our remote setting

Bonus Skills

• Familiarity with TypeScript
• Experience with nginx configuration for performance tuning
• Knowledge of payment gateway integration (Mollie, Stripe, PayPal)
• Exposure to tools like Sentry, LogRocket, or other observability stacks
• Experience with Django Channels (WebSockets) or django-waffle (feature flags)
• Ability to handle basic infrastructure tasks (Fabric, CloudFormation, Poetry for dependency management)
• Proficiency in image and PDF processing using Python libraries
• Understanding of internationalization and third-party CRM/API integrations
• Hands-on experience with video handling, including streaming, encoding, or use of third-party video APIs

Why Join OrangeUni?

• Remote-first work culture with flexibility and independence
• Competitive compensation tailored to your skills and experience
• Professional development through collaboration with top-tier engineers
• Supportive and inclusive team culture that values initiative and creative thinking
• Engage with innovative projects including video streaming, real-time data systems, and scalable web platforms
