I just started a month ago as a backend Django developer. It’s a great team and the work is interesting. Everyone is 100% remote and it’s very flexible. One of the co-founders previously co-founded oDesk/Upwork. If you have any questions feel free to message me directly.


I don't really think the heritage of oDesk/Upwork is inspiring. How does that co-founder's experience impact the team's daily work?


Mind saying which version of django is used?


I'm also wondering this. It's definitely not the same to land on a django1.3 app or a a django1.9 app.

Also, are you using python3? or python2?


Exactly. I'm stuck maintaining a legacy Django 1.3 system and its not ideal. I'm using Django 1.9 for other systems and it makes me a bit sad to work with the older version. I'd happy maintain a legacy system but it gets harder as security fixes become non-existant.
