Build robust APIs using Django REST Framework (including Viewsets, pagination, and versioning).
Write and optimize SQL queries for PostgreSQL and MSSQL.
Implement authentication, authorization, and role-based access control.
Apply best practices for security, performance, and reliability (query optimization, caching, indexing).
Ensure code quality with unit, integration, and API testing using PyTest.
Add observability with logging and metrics to support monitoring and debugging.
Collaborate across teams to deliver features end-to-end.
Why Join Us?
At Quest CE, You’ll Have The Opportunity To
Work on a modern tech stack with a team committed to continuous improvement.
Shape a platform that impacts thousands of financial services professionals.
Be part of a collaborative culture that values feedback, innovation, and growth.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
Extensive professional experience (5-7+ years minimum) with Python/Django, including ORM and complex queries.
Strong grasp of REST principles and secure API design.
Hands-on expertise with Django REST Framework (API architecture, Viewsets, tests).
Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL).
Familiarity with PyTest and test automation practices.
Knowledge of backend security practices (CSRF, SQL injection prevention, secrets handling).
Nice to have: Experience building custom authentication in Django.
Exposure to CI/CD is a plus.
Strong communicator with a mindset of continuous improvement and iteration.
Experience with SvelteKit/TypeScript on the frontend is a plus, but not required.
Location & Workstyle
Hybrid-friendly: We value candidates in the Milwaukee area, while supporting flexibility for remote collaboration.
