Full-Stack Web Developer (Django + React)

About the Role

Drivon builds production websites and internal tools for Kenyan businesses across e-commerce, SaaS and corporate sites. You will own features end-to-end — from database schema to the deployed UI — on a Django + React stack.

PageSpeed and clean code are not afterthoughts here — they are the standard every project is held to.

• Optimise for Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed on every project
• Deploy and maintain applications on Linux servers
• Write clear documentation for handover and maintenance
• Pair with designers and SEO specialists to ensure technical SEO is built in from day one
• Review code from junior developers and share best practices

• Strong Django (Python) backend experience — models, views, REST APIs
