Mid-Level Full Stack Python Developer | Kanji IT
KGIT is looking for a Mid-Level Full Stack Python Developer to join our growing engineering team in Sydney.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building across the full stack — from clean backend architecture and APIs through to responsive frontend experiences. You’ll work closely with a small, senior team delivering real products used in production environments, with the opportunity to contribute to modern AI-driven workflows and emerging technologies.
If you enjoy ownership, solving complex engineering challenges, and working in a fast-moving environment where your ideas matter, we’d love to hear from you.
About the role
You’ll work across the full product lifecycle — collaborating with product and design teams, building scalable backend services, developing modern frontend features, and helping shape the technical direction of new and existing platforms.
This is not a role where you’ll be siloed into one layer of the stack. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute broadly across backend, frontend, infrastructure, and AI-integrated systems.
Key responsibilities
-
Design, build, and maintain Python-based backend services and REST APIs using Django, FastAPI, or Flask
-
Develop and enhance frontend applications using React
-
Collaborate with product and design teams to scope, estimate, and deliver features end-to-end
-
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code using tools such as pytest and Jest
-
Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and engineering best practices
-
Work with cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines across AWS or GCP
-
Design and build MCP (Model Context Protocol) systems to expose internal tools and APIs to AI agents and LLM-powered workflows
-
Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across backend and frontend systems
What we’re looking for
-
3–5 years of professional software development experience
-
Strong Python development skills with experience in Django, FastAPI, or Flask
-
Solid frontend development experience using React or similar modern JavaScript frameworks
-
Experience working with REST APIs and API design principles
-
Strong understanding of relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL
-
Experience with Git, Agile delivery, and collaborative engineering workflows
-
Experience with Docker and containerised environments
-
Full Australian working rights required — sponsorship is not available for this role
Nice to have
-
Exposure to AI/ML tooling or integrating LLM APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic
-
Experience working in startup, scale-up, or product-led environments
Why join KGIT
-
Work alongside a highly capable senior engineering team
-
Build products and features that ship to real users
-
Modern tooling, autonomy, and the ability to influence technical direction
-
Collaborative environment that values curiosity, ownership, and direct feedback
-
Sydney CBD location with a supportive and agile working culture
-
Flexible remote working arrangements available for the right candidate
