Python Backend Developer

We have a working prototype. Now we need someone to turn it into a real product. PulseTheta is a Germany-based fintech company building analytics and backtesting software for systematic, rules-based strategies in the stock and options markets. The prototype works — it just wasn't built to last. That's where you come in. You'd be one of our first hires, working directly with the founder. No layers, no ticket queue, no waiting three weeks for a decision. You build something, it ships, it gets used. What the job actually is You'll own the backend. Python services and data pipelines, automated jobs that have to run correctly every single day, databases that need to be modelled properly rather than grown by accident, external data APIs that lie to you occasionally and need to be caught doing it. You'll also work on the dashboard — React and TypeScript, data-heavy tables and charts. Not pixel-pushing, but the interface where all that backend work becomes visible and useful. Who we're looking for Strong, production-level Python. This is the heart of the role.You've built data pipelines and scheduled workloads that other people depend onSolid SQL, and you can design a schema — not just query oneComfortable with large datasets and analytical queriesReact + TypeScript at a working level: enough to build and extend a dashboardYou own features end to end, from database to interfaceYou don't trust your own numbers until you've checked them twice. In this domain, a wrong number that looks right is worse than a crash.Independent, reliable, and you write code the next person can read Nice to have Workflow orchestration and job schedulingColumnar or analytical data formatsContainerization and deployment automationFinancial or time-series dataYou use AI tools seriously in your work — we do too What you get Real ownership from day one, not in your third yearA founder who knows the domain and writes the specs himselfFully remote, based in the Davao RegionA product that's actually being used, not a slide deck Based in or around Davao City preferred.
