Description

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.


  • Required skills:
  • Love your job and python
  • Really love your job and python
  • Enjoy working in a team rather than being a superman
  • Deep python understanding, concurrency models variants, gil, anync i/o, concurrent network libs (eventlet, gevent, twisted, tulip etc.), wsgi
  • Ability to write simple code to solve complex tasks
  • Written English
