We are looking for support
We have been working with Python and the Django framework since 2008 and have since become real experts in the field. Around 90% of our projects have been developed with Django and we also use the framework for the majority of our products. In the frontend, we combine the strengths of Django with the efficiency of frameworks such as Bootstrap or Vue.js.
Now we need reinforcement for our team at our headquarters ( https://www.kraftwerk-mitte-dresden.de /) in Dresden and would like to expand it with a full-stack web developer.
About The Position
You will get a place in our developer team and the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects and products. You will be significantly involved in the (further) development of comprehensive web applications. To do this, you will use Django in all its facets and at the same time get to grips with front-end technologies such as Bootstrap, JavaScript or Vue.js. Your task is to create efficient and high-quality web applications based on the needs of our customers.
The position is well suited for you
- if you like developing efficient web applications.
- if you like to create quality applications.

- if you enjoy developing appealing user interfaces.
- if you value the quality of user interactions.
You will be part of the entire value chain. You will work on the creation of concepts and contribute your experience and knowledge. You will translate the concepts into software code. You will have to test and document your code. You will accept and merge requests. You should be able to present your progress to the customer and answer any questions that arise.
Here is a list of activities that we regularly do:
- Designing a new feature for a customer

- Writing a REST API to communicate with other apps
- Extending existing views with new functions

- Responding to customer enquiries
- Carrying out user consultation hours
We expect you to report your progress to us regularly and address your findings and hurdles.
Sometimes you will work in small development teams, sometimes you will have your own project. Sometimes the team consists of front-end and back-end developers. Sometimes you will also have to make adjustments to the frontend yourself. However, the entire team is always available to discuss ideas and implementation.
We pursue a culture of mutual exchange. We demand that ideas, concepts and implementations are discussed early and often with colleagues. The dissemination of knowledge is important to us and we want to avoid people getting lost in the shuffle by providing early and frequent feedback. You will be involved in this process and will have to both give and receive advice. In doing so, you will support the goal of continuously improving the quality of our solutions through these measures.
We do not expect you to take on all the activities listed from the outset. During your time at descript, you will continue to develop and build your skills. We are here to support you, cheer you on and help you get things moving.
