• Strong experience with Python and the Django Rest Framework.
• Strong commitment to code quality, and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
• Ability to deal with ambiguity, and respond with agility when requirements and priorities change.
• An ability to lift the performance of a team through coaching and mentoring of more junior engineers.
• Effective communicator both verbally and in writing.

We’d be Lucky if You:

• An interest in and knowledge of security concepts is valued.
