Looking for a Senior Django/React developer

PROJECT

We are developing a competitor for https://airtable.com/ and https://www.notion.so/. Our client is an experienced entrepreneur with a strong technical background, who also finances the development.

Our project is not worse than competitors, with a chic design and even more features. We have a customizable editor, like in Confluence, and a formula system, like in Excel, and organization of data storage and migration, while the user can create data types himself. So, there is where to think, optimize and work with the architecture.

TEAM

There are 36 mature smart guys in the team. We need the same mature independent people who are fond of programming. During working hours, they can independently think over the architecture for a feature and carefully implement it, and on weekends to relax they read the documentation and develop pet projects.

WORKFLOW

Our workflow is clearly defined and organized, but overall it is based on the fact that everyone knows what they are doing. Thus, we have no division by levels and roles between developers. The manager distributes the work, and each developer has the full right to make architectural decisions and implement whatever he sees fit. That being said, you just need to be prepared to justify your decision in front of colleagues.

TECHNOLOGIES

We use React for the frontend and Django for the backend. Everyone on the team is full stack developers and we would like to continue with such lineup. But now we are ready to work with front-end developers as well.

On the frontend we started a project based on Angular (which we still feel embarrassed about), so we have Angular parts, which we are gradually cutting out. This is why experience with Angular as such is not needed.

WE EXPECT

• 3+ years of experience with Python and Django.
• 1 year experience with ReactJS.
• Understanding RESTful API, API design skills.
• Understanding the structure of the frameworks used.
• Ability to build a competent application architecture.
• Ability to design a database structure.
• Acquaintance with the web development ecosystem (libraries, patterns, tools).
• Ability to understand the problem and treat its roots, not the symptoms.
• Ability to plan your work and follow the plan.
• English at Intermediate+ level.

Experience with Redis, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, AWS, experience in server administration (in particular, Docker), as well as skills in working with large amounts of data and team management would be a plus.

TASKS 

• Development and support of company projects.
• Making architectural decisions.
• Assessment of your tasks.
• Conducting code review.
• Communication with colleagues to support the technical process.
• Concentration on teamwork.
• Autonomous work with initiative and discretion.
• Taking care of developing your skills.

WORKING CONDITIONS

• Remote full-time employment with 24 calendar days of vacation (+ public holidays). 
• An insurance package from Best Doctors. 
• Separate budget for training, which can be freely used to buy books and courses.
• Paid training time (up to 8 hours per month).
• Compensation of 50% of the English courses cost.
• Weekly speaking clubs.

Everything, of course, is officially contracted. So, in general, we offer pleasant conditions and a good salary.

A thing worth mentioning is the hourly payment, and, accordingly, time tracking. At the same time, of course, there is always a workload and there are no situations when tasks suddenly ended (in theory, if there is such a thing, downtime will be paid, which is indicated in the contract).
