What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Python Developer [Remote, Full-Time] position at The HOTH?
Hey! We're The HOTH.
Our name stands for Hittem' Over the Head – in other words, to bludgeon with awesomeness.
It can be used as a noun (as in our product, or brand), or as a verb (to HOTH someone or HOTH something). And it's how our clients refer to one of the world's top Digital Marketing companies.
Our mission as a business is to push boundaries, innovate, and have fun while doing it.
We're expanding our fulfillment platform team and looking for a Senior Python Developer who's ready to dive into backend systems and take charge of both development and testing.

You'll work closely with product managers, frontend developers, and other stakeholders to create a seamless fulfillment experience that's stable, fast, and secure. If you're the kind of person who thinks beyond features and also wants to catch every bug before it even has a chance, let's talk!
