Buildpad is seeking a motivated Junior Python Developer to join our remote-first team. This entry-level role is designed for individuals who are just starting their professional journey in software development.

What You'll Do: As a Junior Python Developer, your responsibilities will include assisting in the development of backend services, writing clean and simple Python code, debugging basic issues, and participating in code reviews. You'll help maintain and update existing scripts, contribute to automation tasks, and learn to integrate Python with databases like SQLite or PostgreSQL. Expect to collaborate on small features, such as user authentication modules or data processing scripts, under close supervision.
Skills You'll Develop: This position emphasizes learning on the job. We'll teach you foundational Python concepts like data structures, functions, OOP basics, and error handling.

Use Slack for async communication, Notion for documentation, and Zoom for meetings. Our team spans time zones, so we focus on outcomes over hours.
Growth Opportunities: Mentorship is core here. You'll be paired with a senior developer for weekly 1:1s, code pair-programming sessions, and goal-setting. Access free online courses (Udemy, Coursera) via our training budget, attend Python meetups, and work towards certifications. Many juniors advance to mid-level roles within a year.
Team Culture: We value inclusivity, work-life balance, and continuous learning. No gatekeeping – share ideas freely in our bi-weekly demos. Projects are broken into bite-sized tasks perfect for beginners, building your confidence quickly.
