Job Description

Are you passionate about building scalable systems and elegant solutions? Do you thrive in environments where collaboration, innovation, and clean code are part of everyday life?

We’re looking for a Software Engineer (Python/Django) to join our fast-growing team in Kigali. This is your opportunity to work on impactful products using modern technologies that shape the future of digital platforms in Africa and beyond.

About Us

IST Africa, based in Kigali, Rwanda, is a cooperation partner of IST Group, a leading EdTech company in Northern Europe.

At IST, we build solutions that make a real difference — digitizing and streamlining education management for schools worldwide. Our mission is rooted in one belief: everyone deserves access to quality education.

With decades of experience, technical excellence, and a people-first mindset, we’re constantly exploring new technologies to deliver smarter, stronger, and more efficient systems for schools and organizations.

About the Role

We’re expanding our development team in Kigali and seeking a developer who loves backend challenges but also enjoys touching the frontend when needed.

As a Software Engineer (Python/Django), you’ll:

Design and develop scalable applications and APIs.
Work with modern cloud infrastructure to ensure reliability and performance.
Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and product owners.
Contribute to architectural decisions and code reviews.
Take initiative in problem-solving, improving systems, and automating workflows.

Our development culture is built on ownership, learning, and quality. You’ll be encouraged to explore new tools, follow Test-Driven Development, and experiment with emerging technologies in a supportive environment.

About You

You are a mid-level software engineer (4+ years) with strong experience in backend development and a good grasp of full-stack principles. You care about writing clean, maintainable code and are comfortable working across all layers of a system — from databases to APIs to UI.

You’re curious, proactive, and passionate about continuous improvement.

Key Skills and Experience

Proficiency in Python and Django / Django REST Framework
Experience with PostgreSQL and strong SQL knowledge
Comfortable with JavaScript / TypeScript / React for frontend integration
Working experience with Celery and task queues
Familiarity with Flask and API design (REST / OpenAPI / GraphQL)
Understanding of authentication standards (OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML)
Experience in Docker and containerized environments
Knowledge of AWS (RDS, EC2, S3, ECS, SNS, Fargate)
Exposure to DevOps practices — CI/CD pipelines, Terraform, ELK stack
Strong sense of UI/UX quality and user-centered design principles
Familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and modern testing tools
Version control with Git
