  • You embrace mentorship and collaboration as part of your role within the team. You are looking for a collaborative environment that helps you develop your skills as a productive team member and as a software engineer.
  • You are curious and eager to learn. You are seeking out learning opportunities and are engaging in discussions and feedback conversations with the more experienced members of your team.
  • You want to shape a distributed workplace. You’ll be working as part of a distributed team across multiple time zones in North America. You’re enthusiastic about contributing to remote work culture.

What You Bring to Uplight:

  • You have about 3-5 years of experience as an engineer writing software. We are open to all educational backgrounds and are curious to hear how you got into software development.
  • You have worked with Python and Django web applications and are excited to help with the modernization of one of our applications.
  • You consider improving test coverage and quality as a key to software development and have worked with CI/CD workflows before.
  • You have set up and deployed applications in common infrastructure service providers such as Google Cloud and AWS. Maybe you’ve ever worked with Terraform.
