We've recently been announced as one of the fastest growing tech startup's in London - http://www.techcityuk.com/blog/2017/02/future-fift...
YOUR ROLE
We
are looking for mid-senior level developers who specialise in Python
and have some exposure to the Django framework (Flask applicants will
also be considered).
We've had a big funding round in the middle
of last year and our technical team is growing rapidly (from 4 to 15
people so far). We need to bring up-to-date our technology to meet the
business's ambitions for the next few years.
We are a team of
15 looking to grow to over 20 immediately. To do this we need your
dedication to get work done on time, to train new staff and integrate
many new team members into this rapidly growing team while working with
the other mid-senior developers to ensure that standards stay high and
keep getting higher.
THE STACK

update our stack and offering. Our current methodology is agile kanban.
Requirements
YOUR ATTITUDE
You’re
someone who’s smart, organised, motivated and gets things done. You
want to work in a startup environment, because you like the idea of
doing a bit of everything and taking ownership of what you work on. You
have ideas about everything, and you’re not afraid to argue your point
(while respecting everyone else’s of course). You’re constantly thinking
“how can we do this better?”. You have the experience and aptitude to
provide direction for other staff, to help build the team as a whole and
within its eventual sub-units.
You understand the hard work
required to update and stabilise a large technical product and you are
prepared to put this work into the project.
YOUR SKILL SET
You
must have gone into a company or role with a maturing or mature
technical product before. Having done such you are aware of the pros and
cons caused by the startup coding mentality of "we'll fix that later".
You also understand that you need to grasp the product's technical debt
before planning or making significant changes to the product.
- The applicant would normally have a maths, computing or software engineering degree.
- Ideally you have setup and/or worked with a system of Continuous Integration.
You must have significant experience of working and delivering projects with the following technologies:
- 3+ years of working with Python (with some experience of Django or Flask framework)
- Very good mathematical abilities
- SQL, preferably PostgreSQL
- You have integrated systems with 3rd party APIs before
- You’re also fluent with the command line, you use git
- It
would be great if you’d had experience with one or more of Redis,
Gunicorn, Nginx, Ansible, or Ubuntu; or if you’ve worked as a developer
in the travel, music, or e-commerce industries before. But it’s not a
requirement
