THE ROLE

We are looking for mid to senior level developers who specialise in Python and preferably have some exposure to the Django framework (though it isnt necessary).

Weve had a big funding round in the middle of last year and our technical team has grown rapidly (from 4 to 25 people so far). To meet the growing needs of the business and improve our technology were looking to continue adding high quality people to the team.

THE STACK

http://stackshare.io/festicket/festicket

METHODOLOGY

Were organised into agile, product focussed, cross-functional teams that are empowered to define their own work and decide how to organise themselves. We work incrementally but do occasionally take on bigger projects to update our stack and product. We like to build fast, scalable, easily maintained and dynamic applications using the latest and greatest tools and technologies available. Most of all, we like to deliver! Continuously if possible 🙂

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 develop your product sub-team and improve the team as a whole.

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

• The applicant would normally have a maths, computing or software engineering degree.

• 3+ years of working with Python (with some experience of Django or Flask framework)
• Good mathematical abilities
• SQL, preferably PostgreSQL
• You have integrated systems with 3rd party APIs before
• You’re fluent with the command line and you use git
• It would be great if you’d had experience as a developer in the travel, music, or e-commerce industries before. But it’s not a requirement
