About the role

You may expect our Python Engineers to work on heavily regulated financial systems, but we love the unexpected. We’re better known internally for writing high-quality code and building complex novel solutions end-to-end.

These geniuses have created our chatbot — the lovely Rita — and they didn’t stop there. They’ve also created automated FinCrime quality controls in a few weeks. Yes, they’re just that good!

You’ll never work alone, either. As a Python Engineer, you’ll sit within a Product Team simultaneously working with Data Scientists, Analysts, Engineers, Product Owners, and Operations Managers to solve problems and make our rocket ship fly even higher.

What you’ll be doing

Building APIs making sure they're properly designed and scaled according to business needs;
Creating data pipelines to pull data from production services into our data warehouse, powering reporting, data analytics, and data science;
Writing event consumers to build new data models to provide this data to new flows and processes.

What you'll need

12+ years of experience working as a Software Engineer;
5+ years engineering with Python as your primary language;
A deep understanding of how to architect complex systems in Python;
The desire to set the standard for Python engineering within your team and manage Junior Engineers or Python projects;
An academic background in a STEM subject;
Fluency in Python, SQL, and other OOPLs;
Experience with API development and integration;
A practical understanding of distributed systems;
The ability to write concurrent code in IO/CPU bound situations;
Experience with Docker, K8s, Ansible, Teamcity, monitoring, and alerting.
