Requirements

Experience with building and maintaining python microservices
Ready to contribute to an inclusive and positive working environment for everyone
Able to communicate clearly and be humble when sharing ideas with everyone on the team
Capable of writing production quality code and doing iterative development, balancing speed to ship and long term maintainability
Experience with the creation and maintenance of ETL pipelines is a plus
Have a detail oriented mindset and actively demonstrate curiosity
If you’ve programmed in a different language and not worked with Python before, that’s OK, knowing how to code is a transferable skill. Equally if you’ve never used AWS before and have experience with an alternative cloud provider, that’s OK too. There’s time to learn on the job and a supportive, knowledgeable team will help you.
We believe in having a curious mindset and your ability to learn to do the job is more important than a checklist of must haves

Responsibilities

Meet and build relationships with your team members and relevant stakeholders.
Contribute to every part of our system, tests, documentation, as well as code and process.
Participate in Code Review on feature changes and confidently make changes (i.e with tests!) to our systems.
Participate in our Planning and Retrospective meetings where you will have direct input to the team’s ways of working.
Gain expertise over the tools and services we use: Python, Docker, CircleCI, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.
This is a high trust, supportive and collaborative environment where you will have plenty of opportunities to really help make an impact on both your team and wider company. We value attitude as much as we do direct experience—we want to hire people to grow into the role and beyond.
