- Collaborate on a wide range of projects from rich dashboards, order tracking and account areas to bringing whole new propositions to life
- Integrate third-party services for a more unified experience for our customers and internal teams
- Mentor and develop our growing team and foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement
- Shape our technical vision as we continue to scale and expand our offering
What you'll have
- Strong technical knowledge and proven ability in the Python ecosystem
- Passion for writing clean, maintainable and testable code
- Experience of microservices, event-driven architecture and building applications at scale
- Enjoy working in agile teams, constantly iterating and deploying frequently
- An ability to communicate complex ideas effectively to both developers and non-technical team members
