Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

DAY TO DAY:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
