Description
Python Developer - hybrid
We are seeking a number of Python Developers ideally with Django experience to join JP Morgan in Bournemouth on an initial 6 months contract. You will be contributing to the design, development, and support of a new cloud database service.
Description
The Platform Services group is responsible for defining, developing, and operating cloud products consumed by our Application Development Partners across the firm. Our Product Portfolio includes Private and Public Cloud Platforms and a wide range of services such as databases, messaging, and telemetry.
Our Python Developers and Cloud Engineers are developing these strategic service offerings, to be consumed at scale, by thousands of business-critical applications.
Integrating with our rapidly evolving cloud eco-system to ensure a consistent, reliable, easily consumed service is fundamental to this challenge, as is bringing to bear the experience of our product teams across Platform Services, and developing common libraries and components, so collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
PostgreSQL has recently been added to the roster of strategic cloud database products, and as a member of the PostgreSQL Service Engineering team you will be contributing to the design, development, and support of this new service.
Your role in our Agile development team will involve much more than just writing code - we are responsible for understanding our users' needs, designing and implementing effective solutions, managing the delivery into our production environment, and supporting the service. Whilst developing our control plane in Python, which will provision and manage the database instances, you will also build a solid understanding of the PostgreSQL database product and its administration.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the architectural design and evolution of our service.
- Analyse requirements from our users, and our upstream and downstream dependencies.
- Develop components and features of our control plane, written in Python.
- Collaborate across multiple teams to ensure seamless integration with our cloud platform and maximize code re-use.
- Share knowledge with, guide and mentor other members of the team with different areas/levels of expertise.
Required Skills and Qualifications

- Experience of contributing to the architecture and design of new and existing systems
- Thorough understanding of modern software development concepts and practices
- Thorough knowledge of automated testing types, strategies, and tools
