Pasig City, Philippines
Full Time
Mid Level
ZigZag is looking for a Python Back-End Engineer to join our team! 

We’re looking for a Back-End Developer who loves clean APIs, scalable systems, and working across disciplines. You’ll join a nimble product team and help design and deliver the APIs that power our mobile apps, web experiences, and internal tools.

What You’ll Do
  • Design and implement scalable, secure REST APIs using Django REST Framework
  • Build integrations with third-party services (e.g. payments, IoT devices, PMS)
  • Own backend components end-to-end, from models to migrations, serializers to viewsets
  • Collaborate with front-end engineers, designers, and ops teams to deliver features that actually matter
  • Write testable, maintainable code that scales with our growth
  • Help debug production issues and continuously improve performance and reliability
  • Participate in async-friendly code reviews, Slack discussions, and the occasional emoji war

What You Bring
  • Solid experience with Python and Django (including DRF)
  • Strong understanding of PostgreSQL, ORMs, and data modeling
  • Comfort with RESTful API design, authentication, and pagination/versioning
  • A pragmatic mindset — you know when to write a quick fix and when to build for scale
  • Familiarity with Git, testing frameworks, and remote-friendly workflows
  • Bonus: experience with Redis, Celery, Stripe, or infrastructure like AWS
