We focus on building distributed and hybrid teams that produce superb results. We're a startup with a social mission and this post describes a bit how we work and what we offer to women: http://bit.ly/1jXLGBB We?re looking for skilled and diligent senior Python developers to join FlyByUnicorn and work collaboratively on our website with our lead Python developer. We?ve just starting to build the first version. We have a very clear direction and feature set in mind, but there is always room for new ideas and discussion. As we work in a distributed environment, you?ll be part of a truly global team. Typically this is what your task list would look like: - Write clean, well-performing, test driven and fully commented code as you build a scalable website for FlyByUnicorn in Python - Help create a rich and dynamic website that performs a dual function; it will act as our online avatar as well as be our virtual workplace. - Work in tandem with our lead developer and front-end designer Requirements: - 3+ years of Python experience - Extensive experience with Javascript - Experience with both SQL and NoSQL data stores, database design and tuning - Experience working on at least one high-traffic web site and / or a github account that speaks for itself - Skills in all tiers of the web application stack - Use of distributed version control tools such as Git - Knowledge of standard tools for optimizing and testing code - Excited by fast iterative development with multiple deployments per day - Experience designing, developing, and consuming RESTful APIs - Strong knowledge of object oriented programming and design patterns - Ability to work well independently and within a team, strong discipline and self-management - Excellent communication skills ? with a global team it?s essential that each team member isn?t shy about communicating. You must be comfortable emailing and interacting digitally. We don?t require perfect grammar ?what matters is that we transcend the physical distance between us to understand each other?s ideas Please get in touch with me if interested or pass on to your friends, colleagues who might be interested.
