Lead Python (Django) Developer for CRITICALSTART Offline

Responsibilities:

Expand Ukraine team.

Help the team release new features, fix bugs, that sort of thing. You’ll most likely own one or two sub-components of the overall system.

Use Python/Django – primarily for day-to-day programming.

Work with Postgres, Memcached, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch.

Everything on AWS, using AWS services by default.

Development occurs with Docker, and so do production deployments.

Deal with Terraform that is well maintained and getting better every day.

There is an incredible focus on API design and maintainable code, expect to provide and receive lots of feedback.

Write complex code without complicating it.

Who you are:

You have about 5-8 years of Python/Django programming experience.

You understand how to write Pythonic code that is clean, maintainable – yet solves complex problems.

Talking about Locks, Mutexes, and Semaphores doesn’t make your brain hurt – as you will be working on distributed systems problems.

You have your own way of making mental models of complex systems. We have an incredibly distributed team, so having a model of what you are trying to accomplish and getting that through on the phone is crucial to your success here.

You have some solid Linux skills, not to perform Systems Administration but you know when to use grep versus having to write a program.

If you have little Python/Django experience but you’ve made the switch from/to programming language/framework many times in the past, awesome!

Incredibly clear in your English verbal and written communication.

Strong understanding of AWS and Terraform.

Elasticsearch querying, storing, and APIs.

We offer:

Direct cooperation with the customer.

Dedicated HR/ Client Manager.
