Job Description

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Full Stack Developer to produce scalable software solutions. You’ll be part of a cross-functional team that’s responsible for the full software development life cycle, from conception to deployment. Your instinct is to work autonomously and iteratively to solve problems. Your experience will enable you to influence the team and product direction, present great ideas, design plans and deliver on these in line with our business objectives.

Responsibilities:

• Build upon our Python/Django powered backend
• Collaborate with the design team to implement new features and designs
• Troubleshoot issues and bugs in existing codebase
• Create and manage databases and API integrations
• Write technical documentation
• Work with the audio engineering department to improve software
• Stay up-to-date with the latest web development trends and technologies
• Work with Agile methodology, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.

Company Values:

Integrity - Say What You Think: We are committed to honesty, transparency, and consistently delivering high-quality products and content. This means being honest and open with each other, even when it's difficult, and always striving to go above and beyond for our customers and our colleagues.

Innovative - Solve an actual problem: We use insights and intelligence to inform our decisions, focusing on the problem that needs solving rather than the noise around it. This doesn’t mean reinventing the wheel, it simply means solving problems people care about in new ways and creating value for our customers and the business, without being tied to what we've done in the past, or even what others are doing now.

Ambitious - Shoot for the moon: We hold ourselves to the highest of standards, with meticulous attention to detail, and concentrate on solving problems with effective outcomes. We are driven to deliver best in class experiences for our customers and we push ourselves and others in our quest for excellence, expecting the same in return.

Team Players - Value Every Voice: We value working as a collective, being polite and helpful to colleagues and customers alike. We are committed to continuous feedback and remain open to criticism. We believe in the importance of collaboration, constant learning, and respectful interaction.

Requirements:

• Strong knowledge of Python and Django
• Experience with Django REST framework
• Experience with AWS
• Experience with frontend technologies like HTMX
• Experience with relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL and MySQL
• Write effective and RESTful APIs
• Proficiency with Git
• Appreciation for clean and well documented code
