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.
