Software Engineer (Python)

Job Description

We’re looking for an awesome Python Engineer to join our growing engineering team which spans Australia, US, UK and Europe. You’ll need to be able to work well in a highly autonomous and diverse environment while being able to prioritise effectively.
We’re not incredibly hung up on “Years experience” or “Framework expertise” as these are rarely good predictors of good future performance.
What we do care about is a great sense of design, good problem-solving abilities, the capacity to learn quickly, and an overriding desire to drive success for our customers.

What you’ll do?

Our stack is comprised of many languages, technologies, and services, including Python/Django, Celery, Golang, React, GraphQL, Docker, and AWS. You will work across all of these to deliver critical customer features and major technological improvements. This will include contributing to our backend, web-app, mobile app, and infrastructure/configuration management codebases.

You will develop abstractions and best practices across the entire stack to make us a more efficient engineering team and to help us build better products for our customers.
You will work closely with team members from different departments to define and execute projects which will have a significant impact on the direction and future of our company.

Compensation:
We offer a competitive salary, great perks, volunteer days, professional development allowance, fitness or mindful app subscriptions and remote team lunches to help you stay connected.

Location:
Myagi is 100% remote and we understand this isn’t for everyone. When possible we organise regular regional offsites and an annual offsite to help you build relationships with the wider team. We have experience working remotely for over 5 years and so we have all the technology and processes to ensure you stay connected. Myagi is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees.

Skills Required

• You have built useful, thoughtful Django applications in the past, either during your education, at home, or at work.
  
• You have experience with Python/Django and/or React, and bonus points for GraphQL
  
• You can turn ideas into production-ready code with autonomy and with a strong will to always do the best for users and the rest of the team.
  
• You know the best engineering practices, tools, and development patterns.
  
• You care about writing quality code and building a great product. We expect you to develop opinions about how we can do that better and to productively share those ideas with the rest of the team.
• Ideally, you have some knowledge of AWS basics.
