Launch your career as a Junior Python Developer at Firo! This entry-level role is perfect for recent graduates or self-taught enthusiasts with basic Python knowledge. Work fully remotely, receive dedicated mentorship, collaborate on impactful projects, and grow your skills in a supportive environment. Ideal for those eager to learn modern Python development practices and contribute from day one.

Firo is excited to welcome a Junior Python Developer to our fully remote team. As an entry-level position, this role is designed for individuals starting their professional journey in software development. You'll join a collaborative group of developers working on innovative projects that leverage Python for backend services, automation, and data processing. Our team values learning and growth, providing ample opportunities for hands-on experience under the guidance of senior mentors.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in writing and maintaining simple Python scripts and modules for internal tools and applications.
• Collaborate with team members to implement basic features, such as API endpoints or data processing pipelines, using frameworks like Flask or FastAPI (training provided).
• Perform debugging and testing of code with tools like pytest, learning unit testing fundamentals on the job.
• Participate in code reviews to understand best practices and contribute feedback as you gain confidence.
• Use Git for version control, starting with basic branching, committing, and pull requests.
• Support deployment tasks using Docker basics and CI/CD pipelines (mentorship included).
• Attend daily stand-up meetings via Zoom and track tasks in Jira or Trello.

This role emphasizes learning: you'll have weekly one-on-one sessions with a mentor to review code, discuss challenges, and set growth goals. We use Slack for real-time communication, Notion for documentation, and pair programming sessions to accelerate your ramp-up. Projects involve practical applications like cryptocurrency tools, privacy-focused services, and automation scripts, giving you exposure to real-world scenarios without overwhelming complexity.

Technologies you'll work with (and learn):

• Core: Python 3.8+, virtual environments (venv/conda).
• Web: Flask/FastAPI basics.
• Data: Pandas, basic SQL with SQLite/PostgreSQL.
• Tools: Git, pytest, Docker (introductory), Jupyter notebooks for experimentation.

Our fully remote setup ensures work-life balance with flexible hours (core hours 10am-3pm UTC for overlap). We foster a welcoming culture where questions are encouraged, and mistakes are learning opportunities. Grow into a mid-level developer within 1-2 years through structured training, conferences, and internal hackathons.
