Senior Python Software Engineer

We’re looking for software engineers with experience building high-throughput, data-intensive applications in Python. Our ideal candidate has built services within a horizontally scalable cloud architecture, but we’ll consider candidates with any experience. We value iteration, customer focus, and humility above all.

Recently, we've used Python in the following ways:

Built a serverless AWS Lambda data processing application on Amazon's Chalice microframework

Added tooling around queue workers using Python's great support for process management

Building new APIs using Flask (for microservices) and Django (for larger APIs that interact with databases)

You can help us extend and scale our marketing platform. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing organization that truly cares about its people and their personal development.

What your day could consist of: 

• Build, test, and ship features confidently and with low friction through a modern GitLab continuous integration / continuous deployment pipeline
• Work closely with your autonomous, cross-functional team
• Teach as much as you learn
• Validate your designs by building performance and load testing tools
• Measure, optimize, and re-architect production systems as they reach their limits
• Work with engineers on other teams to design services and APIs that enable feature work across our engineering organization

What is needed: 

• Relentless focus on our customer’s experience
• Experience building and shipping scalable applications in Python
• Opinions on software testing
• Experience as a mentor or an apprentice
• Fluency in other programming languages and platforms is nice, but not required
• Experience with MVC frameworks a plus (like Flask, Django, or Chalice)
• Experience with ORM frameworks a plus
• Experience interacting with distributed systems a plus (Queuing Services, Message Notifications Services, File Stores, NoSQL Databases)
