Python jobs in United States

At Bending Spoons, we’re striving to build one of the all-time great companies. A company that serves a huge number of customers. A company where team members grow to their full potential. A company that functions at unparalleled levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A company that creates value for shareowners at an extraordinary rate. And a company that does so while adhering to high ethical standards.

To achieve this objective, we execute the following strategy: We acquire a digital business with untapped potential and make it as successful as we can by leveraging our platform—which comprises our expertise, technologies, data, brand, talents, and company culture. Then, we invest the proceeds into making our platform more powerful, and into acquiring new businesses. Thus, our strategy sees us combine an investor’s attention to capital allocation with the hands-on approach of an operator.

For a talented, driven, and collaborative individual, working at Bending Spoons is an opportunity to learn, make an impact, and progress their career at an exceptionally high rate. That’s our promise to such a candidate.

We’re seeking exceptional engineers with a passion for backend, data, infrastructure, mobile, or security & privacy. While we'll consider your preferences, our engineers are encouraged to move across different areas of the company, and everyone holds the title of software engineer.

No matter your seniority, you will work on production code, directly improving our products or adding new exceptional features. Currently, most teams use Python, Typescript, or Java for the backend, and Kotlin and Swift for mobile. Our approach to software development is highly flexible, adapting our tech stack to the needs of different products.

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Work closely with other software engineers to expand our set of libraries and make our processes more efficient.
• Learn about the latest technologies, testing promising ones to ensure we don't miss game-changing opportunities to boost productivity and enjoyment.
• Constantly improve our products, tools, or infrastructures by fixing bugs and refactoring the codebase where necessary.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. You can solve complex problems given the necessary knowledge, think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist biases and focus on important details.
• Drive. You are highly ambitious, with initiative, effort, and tenacity matching your ambition. You feel responsible for your work and hold yourself to high standards.
• Team spirit. You support others generously, prioritize the best ideas, and are reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest in your field.
• An exceptional growth opportunity. We hire individuals with outstanding potential and position them for success. Early-career Spooners lead major projects, and with experience, you’ll play vital roles in significant initiatives.
• Competitive pay and equity. Salaries start at £66,779 in the UK and €63,965 elsewhere, with increases based on experience and impact. Equity options are available at a discounted rate, allowing participation in company value creation. Relocation to Italy may offer a 50% tax reduction.
• Comprehensive benefits. Flexible hours, remote work, learning allowances, top health insurance, relocation support, parental leave, and annual retreats are part of our package.
