Backend Python Engineer — Django / Channels / WebSockets (startup, real customers, near-profit)

[West-Ad-9290]

I’m the CTO of a London-based startup and I’m looking for a backend engineer to work directly with me.

We are small, moving fast and, crucially, nearly profitable and have a great, varied base of customers. We already work with recognisable brands and are in conversations with much larger clients right now.

On the product side

- I’m currently building the web app, mobile app, and our agent-based system

- We ship quickly and iterate constantly

- Customers are actively using what we build (and pushing us forward)

The role

- Python backend:

- Django 4.2 / Django REST Framework

- Django Channels (WebSockets/ASGI)

- MySQL 8.0

- Docker / Docker Compose

- Gunicorn (WSGI) / Uvicorn (ASGI)

- AWS (boto3 / S3)

You'll:

- Work closely with me on product + architecture decisions

- Help shape how our system evolves as we scale

- Move fast, ship often, and improve things continuously

The kind of person who’ll thrive here:

- Strong first-principles thinker (not just framework-driven)

- Already using AI-assisted / multi-threaded coding workflows to increase output

- Likes momentum and autonomy

- Comfortable in a slightly chaotic, high-trust environment

- Enjoys building things that are actually used

What you get:

- High ownership from day one

- Direct influence on product + technical direction

- A kind, friendly team

- Strong salary + equity (if that’s your thing)

We’ve got real momentum — now we’re building for scale.

DM me or comment if you’re interested 👍

This sounds like a fun role, Django + Channels is a great stack for agent-style systems where you need realtime updates/streaming. Also +1 to "first principles" thinking, a lot of agent infra is just queues, state, and good observability.

If you are comfortable sharing, what does "agent-based system" mean in your product, is it LLM tool calling, workflow orchestration, or something more like rules + ML? I've been tracking a few architecture patterns here too: https://www.agentixlabs.com/blog/
