Nira is looking for an experienced Python architect/senior developer to join our fast-growing engineering team. You will provide technical expertise across design, implementation and support of the Python components in our high performance data processing and integrations areas.

If you’re a creative problem-solver and enjoy a fast-paced work environment, then this is a great opportunity.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design and development of scalable and high performing / high resilience backend services written in Python.
  • Solution design/architecture in the general area of stream and graph data processing and enterprise SaaS API integration.
  • Influence design and implementation of integrations which connect Python components to other parts of our ecosystem and to 3rd party platforms.
  • Performance engineering to achieve throughput, resilience and enable scaling.
  • Code standards, code reviews, technical planning/research, testing/QA.
  • Assist in scoping, estimating, and planning of projects, particularly from a technical architecture perspective.
  • Assist in leading a squad of 2-5 engineers collaborating to deliver new feature/function bundles.
  • Mentor and coach other engineers to grow their skills and experience in Python.

What We're Looking For

  • You’ve got 8+years of experience in designing, building and maintaining enterprise services specifically written in Python, and the broader Python ecosystem (eg package and dependency management). If you’ve made Open Source contributions in Python, that’s a bonus.
  • You’ve got 5 years of experience with microservices, large scale distributed data processing, message passing and event streaming, enterprise APIs and possibly have a functional knowledge of Golang
  • You have high accountability and ownership of your work, but a willingness to collaborate with others to achieve shared goals.
  • You have a bias towards action. You love to move fast, are self motivated, and a life-long learner.
  • You care about working on fast-growing products while iterating and sweating the details.
  • You’re willing to do whatever it takes, even if this means working outside of your role (backend help frontend, frontend help backend, handle customer support, etc).
  • You’re able to effectively balance speed/quality/tech debt and make engineering decisions that enable speed and quality results.
  • You’re a product thinker who cares about the customer.
