Senior Backend Engineer (Python)

‘Ambitious’, ‘innovative’, ‘highly product-focused’ - those are the words you’d hear if we were asked to describe our Engineering teams.

They focus on product, platform and the development of internal tools to bring the best experience to all of our customers.

Probably one of the most senior bunches of people in the company - on average, each one of our Engineers has over 7 years of experience!

• Server-side programming in Python.
• Polyglot persistence (we take the database that matches a particular case)
• API-first approach; UI comes second
• Distributed scalable environment
• Continuous Delivery
• Real-Life Big Data application

Must have:

• 6+ years of experience in building distributed applications and services
• Good Python knowledge
• Strong SQL experience
• Experience with message brokers (SQS/RabbitMQ/Kafka)
• Experience with at least one Python web framework (preferably AioHTTP)
• Experience with Docker

Nice to have:

• Experience of data pipelines building
• Experience with JavaScript and React
• Experience with infrastructure as a code (e.g. Ansible/Terraform)
• Experience with Kubernetes
• Production experience with Cloud Services (AWS preferably)

Our Culture

It’s pretty hard to condense a culture down to a few words, but we do all have a few things in common.

We’re problem solvers, we’re adaptable, we’re empathy driven and results led.

People here like working in a fast-paced, multi-national, multi-cultural and ever changing environment. Everyone has an impact on a powerful mission, and is happy to roll their sleeves up to ideate solutions and put them in place. Being part of a rapidly growing business means that the answers aren’t always there for us already, but that’s okay; it’s part of the excitement!

If this resonates, we might be the right place for you.
