Job Description

Python Developer

We need super smart engineers from all levels to help us build one of the best engineered e-commerce platform in the world (big talk we know, but that is our goal!). Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general (We are a technology first company and pride ourselves on our culture of learning and knowledge sharing and we want all our engineers to be as passionate as we are!) 

The Environment 

Our platform is largely an event driven platform implemented via a microservice architecture. The platform runs in the cloud and uses a large number of technologies and middle ware. The bulk of backend code is written in the functional style (F#) and our system of record is an event sourced system (essentially a log of all actions on the platform). We use a mix of Kafka, Redis, Elastic Search, Azure SQL, Event Store and Azure Storage for our data stores. About 50% of the platform runs on Linux and the rest Windows (although we move into more containerization, we will see a shift towards Linux). 

Qualifications

• Minimum 1 years of industry experience 
• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Math or related field
• Proven industry experience with large scale distributed systems
• Solid experience with object-oriented and/or event driven systems

Bonus Points

• We love engineers experienced with functional programming (P.S. If you are C++ or Java or C# or Python developer and willing to learn a new language, we love you too!)
• Understands the importance of operations in production systems (logging, telemetry, alerting etc.)
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• Has ambition and vigor to add value to a rapidly growing development team
