Software Engineer Jobs database 9/25: Weekly posts of recently posted software engineer roles
Hey friends, every week I search the internet for software engineer jobs that have been recently posted on a company's career page. I collect the jobs, put them in a spreadsheet, and share them with anyone whose looking for their next role. All for free.
This week is the biggest job list I’ve curated to date. Over 150 roles from Software Engineering to Infrastructure Engineering, and includes opportunities across the globe. Due to popular demand, we’ve expanded beyond the USA to feature roles in Europe, South America, and Asia.
I hand pick the ones I know are good roles, with market salaries, and no glaring flags (ex: I generally only put roles with posted salary bands). Though its not easy to tell if the roles require leetcode or not.
The data is sourced by my own web scraping bots, paid sources, free sources, VC sites, and the typical job board sites. I spend an ungodly amount on the web so you don't have too!
About me, I am a senior software engineer with a decade of work history, and ample job searching experience to know that its a long game and its a numbers game.
If there are other roles you'd like to see,

Major Update: Simplify HTTP Security Headers in Django with secure.py
Hi Django developers,
A major update to secure.py has been released—a Python library that simplifies managing HTTP security headers in your Django applications. This release is a complete rewrite, leveraging modern Python 3.10+ features for better performance and usability.
Why Use secure.py with Django?
- Quick Setup: Apply BASIC or STRICT security headers with just one line.
- Full Customization: Control headers like Content-Security-Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and more.
- Seamless Integration: Works smoothly with Django's middleware and view functions.
How to Integrate secure.py in Your Django Project
Middleware Example:
from django.http import HttpResponse
from secure import Secure
secure_headers = Secure.with_default_headers()
def set_secure_headers(get_response):
def middleware(request):
response = get_response(request)
secure_headers.set_headers(response)
return response
return middleware
set_secure_headers to your MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py.from django.http import HttpResponse
from secure import Secure
secure_headers = Secure.with_default_headers()
def home(request):
response = HttpResponse("Hello, world")
secure_headers.set_headers(response)
return response
Major Update: Easily Secure Your Flask Apps with secure.py
Hi Flask developers,
I'm excited to announce a major update to secure.py, a lightweight library that makes adding essential HTTP security headers to your Flask applications effortless. This latest version is a complete rewrite designed to simplify integration and enhance security for modern web apps.
Managing headers like Content Security Policy (CSP) and HSTS can be tedious, but they're crucial for protecting against vulnerabilities like XSS and clickjacking. secure.py helps you easily add these protections, following best practices to keep your apps secure.
Why Use secure.py with Flask?
- Quick Setup: Apply BASIC or STRICT security headers with just one line of code.
- Full Customization: Adjust headers like CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and more to suit your app's specific needs.
- Seamless Integration: Designed to work smoothly with Flask's request and response cycle.
How to Integrate secure.py in Your Flask App:
Middleware Example:
from flask import Flask, Response
from secure import Secure
app = Flask(__name__)
secure_headers = Secure.with_default_headers()
@app.after_request
def add_security_headers(response: Response):
secure_headers.set_headers(response)
return response
from flask import Flask, Response
from secure import Secure
app = Flask(__name__)
secure_headers = Secure.with_default_headers()
@app.route("/")
def home():
response = Response("Hello, world")
secure_headers.set_headers(response)
return response

Sharing common code
Writing a Django rest API.
There are 3 apps within the project.
One of the functions I am using needs a database table to function.
I want to use that function in all 3 of the apps.
I am still developing that function as the app grows so I do not want to package that function at this stage.
Not sure how to achieve this.

(Almost) Pure Python Web App
A few weeks back I learned about htmx and quickly figured out that it actually allows you to do your frontend entirely in Python. So I decided to test if I can actually use it to make an SPA and how far can I go before i hit the limit. I spent a few weeks trying to create a messaging application (almost) entirely in Python. The end product is not exactly production-grade (there are minor UI bugs here and there), but I'm quite satisfied with it. This little project has allowed me to learn a great deal about htmx and its limits, and most importantly, it convinced me that htmx allows you to do quite a lot frontend stuff without having to touch JS.

Join the Bot Battle: Create Your Own!
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a fun project I’ve been working on involving bots that play a game where they can choose to either share or steal. The rules are simple: if both players share, they each get 10 points; if both steal, they each get 0; and if one shares while the other steals, the stealer gets 20 points.
I've implemented a few example bots, including one that always steals and another that always shares. But I encourage all of you to create your own bots with unique strategies! You can modify their behavior based on past choices, implement more complex decision-making algorithms, or even create entirely new strategies. The possibilities are endless!
If you're interested, I’d be happy to share the code and discuss ideas for bot strategies. Let’s see who can create the most cunning bot!
Happy coding!
below here is a list of some example bots

class Bot:
#1 steal
#0 split

PeepDB v0.1.4 - Support for MongoDB and SQLite added , GUI next time
# What My Project Does
I made a post a while ago about PeepDB. For people who don't know what the project is about, it is a CLI tool built in Python and my goal is to make it the easiest and fastest self hosted tool to view tables and data across multiple database types. I also want to make it a Python library so it can be used inside python scripts. Up until recently the project supported MySQL, MariaDB and Postgres databases.
# Target Audience (e.g., Is it meant for production, just a toy project, etc.)
peepDB is aimed at developers debugging database-driven applications, DBAs performing quick checks or audits, data analysts exploring table structures, and those learning about databases who want an easy way to explore data. It's suitable for use in both development and production environments
# Comparison
peepDB distinguishes itself from alternatives by focusing solely on quick table viewing, supporting multiple databases out-of-the-box. It requires no SQL knowledge to use, has a minimal footprint compared to larger database management tools
# What was added in this release
Because of popular demand support for MongoDB databases and SQLite, as well as enhanced security storage for passwords (not officially certified) and also the ability to switch between showing

D Flagged a potential dual submission case to program chairs but they don't care.
Regarding https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1f7axjm/d\_potential\_dual\_submissions\_2\_similar\_iclr\_24/
A while ago I came across these two papers, and I noticed they are highly similar. I sent an email to ICLR 2024 program chairs asking them about this, including:

Learning a language other than Python?
I’ve been working mostly with Python for backend development (Django) for that past three years. I love Python and every now and then I learn something new about it that makes it even better to be working in Python. However, I get the feeling every now and then that because Python abstracts a lot of stuff, I might improve my overall understanding of computers and programming if I learn a language that would require dealing with more complex issues (garbage collection, static typing, etc)
Is that the case or am I just overthinking things?

D R What is the next frontier to AI?
I work as an undergraduate research assistant. I'm curious about what do you think is the new frontier for AI?
For example, we're full of LLM models, which are so good for language and vision tasks. But they are very poor when it comes to planning, control, real-world interaction, out-of-distribution thinking, etc.
What are those topics that remains at the shadow within research niches, but have the capacity to become the new cutting-edge paradigm? Biased opinions are very encourage.

Looking for Advice: How’s the Job Market for Django Backend Developers?
I'm curious to know if there are any backend developers here who are using Django, DRF, Docker, AWS, RabbitMQ, Celery, etc. in their tech stack. If you're using this stack, how much are you earning based on your experience? What are your salary expectations?
Additionally, I'd love some guidance on compensation expectations as a fresher. I have experience working in production with this stack (internships and projects). What kind of salary can I expect as a fresher, and what should I aim for after gaining a few years of experience?
I’ve noticed that there seem to be a lot more opportunities for freshers in React, TypeScript, and Node.js compared to Django. While there are openings for Django, they’re often for senior roles. Would it be better to switch and focus on a different stack with more opportunities?
If you have experience with this stack, how has your career trajectory been? Any insights on pay scales or industry demand?
Thanks in advance!

WTF is ASGI and WSGI in python apps? - A writeup
I’ve been working on Python-based backend development for about three years now in various forms. I primarily use Django and FastAPI, although I initially started with Flask. However, during my backend work, I frequently encountered the terms ASGI and WSGI. For example, one of my Django deployment scripts included references to asgi_app and wsgi_app, and used gunicorn to deploy these apps. Although I initially dismissed these terms as implementation details but now got some time to go deeper. Here is a writeup:-
https://samagra.me/wtf/2024/09/27/gateway-interfaces.html
Edit TLDR:
ASGI and WSGI are protocols for communication between web servers and Python web applications. ASGI is newer, asynchronous, and more efficient for handling multiple requests simultaneously. WSGI is older, synchronous, and processes requests one at a time. The post explains their differences and provides example implementations of echo servers using both interfaces.

First Work Project
I’m starting my first work project and settled on using Django.
I’ve done some front end projects before but nothing that went into production. Just some portfolio stuff with flask and JS.
I spend most of my days doing data engineering work or data science stuff. The organization is moving off of some old COBOL based stuff and into some staging databases, still on prem. Well, there’s a huge technical gap. The resident tech talent is mostly from 20 years ago and is focused solely on SQL and DOS like functionality. I’m the personality who’s trying to drive them to something more modern.
The enterprise that owns our org has power platform licenses but none of the cloud environments to back it which make them accessible or interoperable with Python. Yet, they’ve hired a few people who are mass producing power apps which I know will not be scalable or sustainable in the long run.

The first proof of concept is going to be replicating a single user interface which simply allows them to update / insert a row to

Second Django app in project not working
I'm working on a Django project with two apps, and I'm running into issues with the second app, called Management. The first app, Base, works perfectly, but after setting up Management using the same steps, it’s not functioning as expected. I’m not sure what I might be missing.
Here’s what I’ve done:
Created Management using python manage.py startapp
Added Management to the INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py
Defined models, views, and URLs for Management
Applied migrations for Management (python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate)
Linked Management's URLs to the main urls.py using include()
Checked for typos and configuration issues
Despite following the same steps I used for the Base app, the Management app isn’t working. Am I overlooking something when setting up multiple apps in Django? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is the repo incase you want to take a look
https://github.com/kingmawuko/GigChain.git
EDIT:
The issue was resolved by placing the Base app's URL pattern at the bottom of the urlpatterns in the main urls.py. This ensured that more specific routes, such as for the Management app, were matched before the fallback routes in Base.
