Principal Full-Stack Engineer — Web & Backend

Company: Varicon
Location: Remote / Hybrid (Nepal-based candidates preferred)
Employment Type: Full-time
Application Deadline: September 20
Apply to:hr@varicon.com.au

About the Role

Varicon is looking for aPrincipal Full-Stack Engineer to take technical ownership of our web and backend systems. This is a senior, hands-on engineering role for someone who can architect scalable systems, write high-quality production code, and mentor a team of engineers — while staying close to the codebase rather than moving fully into management.

What You'll Do

  • Architect, design, and build scalable full-stack web applications usingPython/Django as the core backend framework

  • Own technical decisions across the stack — backend architecture, database design, API design, and frontend integration

  • Lead code reviews, set engineering standards, and drive best practices across the team

  • Mentor and guide mid-level and junior engineers, providing technical direction and growth support

  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and client-facing teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions

  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, and technical debt

  • Drive decisions on infrastructure, deployment, and system reliability

  • Stay hands-on — write, test, and ship code regularly rather than only reviewing others' work

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

  • 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, including 3-6+ years with Django

  • Strong, demonstrable experience with Python and Django (Django ORM, Django REST Framework, admin, migrations)

  • Solid full-stack capability — comfortable across backend and frontend (JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and a modern frontend framework)

  • Proven experience architecting and scaling production systems

  • Strong database skills (SQL, query optimization, schema design)

  • Experience mentoring or leading other engineers

  • Strong communication skills — able to explain technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

  • Experience with additional backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Node.js)

  • Exposure to AI/ML integration within web applications

  • Experience working with international/distributed teams

Experience Level

8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3-6 years working specifically with Django in production environments. Demonstrated seniority in ownership, architecture, and mentoring is expected alongside years of experience — not years alone.

What Varicon Offers

  • Competitive, market-aligned compensation

  • A collaborative, engineering-first culture

  • Opportunity to shape technical direction at a growing company

  • Flexible/remote-friendly working arrangement
