Software Engineer (Python / Django), New York City, NY



Position: Software Engineer  (Python / Django)
Location: New York City, NY
Duration: Perm / Direct Hire
Start: ASAP

We're looking for developers to help us work on interesting and challenging problems as we scale to millions of users.
If you're smart, take pride in your work and want to learn from (and teach) other developers within a very cohesive team, this is definitely the right place for you. We're agile, do test-driven development, lots of pair programming and take code quality very seriously (we have a full test harness and automated CI environment). No ninjas, jedis or divas. Developing is a team sport here.
You're familiar with most of these, and are interested in learning ones you don't yet know:
  • Python
  • Django / Flask
  • MongoDB
  • MySQL or PostgreSQL
  • some knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Some of the problems we're currently working on:
  • scaling and deploying Django web apps to a cloud-based infrastructure
  • abstracting and open sourcing Django plugins we've developed
  • constantly improving and coming up with better ways to test our code
  • Work with a fun, talented, supportive and friendly team
  • Company culture that values results and offers lots of flexibility
  • Help create the culture as an early member of our team
  • Knowledge that what you're building will positively impact millions of people
  • Access to whatever tools and computing resources needed
  • Time to contribute back to the Open Source community, create open source projects, and contribute to our tech blog
  • Competitive compensation package with equity and great health benefits

If you are interested, please reply with an updated copy of your resume in .doc format along with a good time to call you back. If you are unavailable for work, then feel free to share my contact information with any of your friends/colleagues who might be interested. If you do not wish to be contacted for future jobs, please let me know and I will promptly modify our database accordingly.

Sincerely,

Arvind K
