Senior Python Developer with SQL Skills to Join Virtual Team at ExamBuilder (Tarrytown, NY) (allows remote)
Job Description
We are a small, established, and profitable technology company providing online exam software to customers in over 25 countries. We are looking for a senior developer with CTO qualities to join our team. We are OK with someone working virtually.
This is a great job for someone who loves technology and wants to work on a cool project without big company bureaucracy. You won’t be pigeon-holed into doing the same thing every day. In fact, the ability to wear multiple hats is essential. Here are some of the roles you’ll play on the team:
CTO. As our product evolves and our company grows you will assist us in evaluating new technologies, designing product architecture, thinking through Internet security issues, and managing junior developers. You report to the president and help with high-level business decisions.
Hands-on Programmer. As a Senior Developer, you will definitely write code. Most of it will be Python or SQL or JavaScript. You may have to set up an Ubuntu server from scratch or write a Python module for a new feature or script a Web-based API to integrate with another application.
Design Opinionator. While we won’t ask you to fire up Photoshop, you can certainly help us find JavaScript widgets or CSS tricks that make the site drive better and more fun to use. We don’t stuff programmers into code hell; feedback on all aspects of product development is expected and encouraged.
Skills Requirements
You are a senior developer with at least 5 years experience developing scalable, robust websites.
We use the following technologies: Python 3, the Pyramid Framework, Ubuntu Server, Oracle, and jQuery. Our platform features a RESTful API whose feature set is expanding; knowledge setting up an API is important.
You have to be able to write some SQL. The more SQL experience you have, the better. We prefer that you have PLSQL experience in Oracle or Postgres.
Your code is beautiful. If it weren’t buried on our server it would be hanging in a museum. It is clean and commented. We believe 10 lines of legible code are better than 5 lines of incomprehensible code.
Excellent communications skills and fluent English are essential.
