• Participate in all phases of the software development cycle as part of a Scrum team.

• Plan the technology base to use the latest tools and frameworks for best performance, considering costs and scale.

• Collaborate with product management, engineering and customer facing teams to deliver the right solutions.  

What you’ll bring: 

• Passion for software development as a craft and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where the focus is on value delivered, not tasks completed.

• Expert level programming capability in Python and at least one other language.

• Proficient in open source platforms and technologies, including using GitHub for sharing open source code, continuous integration and testing platforms, and automated build/deployment systems.
