We are looking for a talented python developer to scale an awesome international team.
Why it's interesting to work in our team
- We don't like bureaucracy. You are allowed to discuss any issue with any from the team including our CEO
- We push changes live a few times a day.
- The tasks you would work on may be quick and simple or very long and complex. Some of them require multithreading understanding and ability to debug issues under heavy load
- Our setup is about 70 servers in total. A few instances for mongo, mysql, redis, light frontends with nginx/varnish, heavy backends with uwsgi and django, a pool of servers for celery, etc. They all are in amazon AWS in 2 datacenters and 3 zones.
- It's highly encouraged to show initiative and suggest new ideas. We understand that business goals come first but we try to keep our code clean
- We have a smart QA team that won't allow you to push code with bugs :)
- Our frontend teams handle all js/css issues so you don't have to write js if you don't want to. At the same time if you like js then it's a big plus
- We offer paid vacation, paid sick days and local holidays in your country
- You have flexible working hours when it's most comfortable for you
- Some of big tasks you might lead just to understand our stack:
- Making image thumbnails in async mode as quickly as possible for faster publishing
- Adding twitter streaming api
- Gather lots of stats, store it and build reports for high load. We've had pikes up to 550k users online
- Various optimizations to reduce network calls, page load, etc.
