Python Developer (remote position)

Description

We are looking for a great python developer to scale an awesome international team that contains developers from more than 10 countries. It's a remote position.

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 90 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, EdgeCast cdn, etc. The servers are in 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. It's not always possible so one of the hardest tasks for you would be to keep this balance

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:

Changing page layout + all resources to get the highest possible google page speed rank

Adding twitter streaming api

Gather lots of stats, store it and build reports for high load and huge data sets. We've had pikes up to 550k users online

Designing new async system to process 10k+ tasks per second.

Adding cool tools to improve our solutions and speed up development. Of course, first you should understand the project very well :)
