Backend Developer

Own the services behind the score: the assessment pipeline, the scoring engine, and the consent and disclosure rules that decide who is allowed to see whom.
Team Engineering
Type Full-time
Location Remote — anywhere with 4 hours overlap with Eastern Time
Verifran turns a fifteen-minute conversation into a Franchise Readiness Score across nine weighted dimensions, then matches that franchisee against a brand’s own Franchise DNA. The backend is where all of that actually happens.
What you will do
Build and own services in the assessment, scoring, consent and matching domains
Design the rules that gate disclosure — who sees what, when, and on whose consent
Keep the API contract honest: typed schemas, regenerated clients, no silent drift
Write the tests that make a privacy rule impossible to break by accident
Work directly with the people using it, rather than through a tissue of tickets
What we are looking for
Strong Python, and opinions about where domain logic belongs
You have designed a data model that outlived its first three requirement changes
Comfortable with SQL as a place rules live, not just a place rows go
You test the rule, not the function — and you can tell the difference
You would rather delete a feature than carry one nobody uses
Nice to have
Payments, KYC, credit or any other regulated data surface
Experience with consent regimes — PIPEDA, CASL, GDPR
You have worked somewhere small enough that you owned something end to end
The stack
Python 3.12
FastAPI
Alembic
Pytest
Railway
Remote
This role is fully remote. We care about overlap, not postcode — four hours with Eastern Time is enough.
How we hire
A conversation, a piece of real work paid at our rate, and a call with the team you would join. No whiteboard puzzles, no unpaid take-homes.
