About the role
In this role, you will engineer and develop the backend that will

means you don't need to suffer from old poorly-written code, you
need to write clean code from scratch. As one of the first
engineers in the company, you will be responsible for ensuring the
code style is implemented consistently across the codebase right
from the start. Keeping the code modular and easy to read is one of
the top priorities. At the same time, as a growing start-up, we are
moving at a fast pace, so you need to be agile and focus on
delivering software that does the job first and then improve it
step by step. You will work directly with the founding team.

backend)
Deliver efficient code that does the job first and iteratively
improve it later
Adhere to code guidelines and keep co-workers accountable for it as
well
Ship code that is easy to read, maintain and debug
Be on top of all most recent code practices, libraries and
frameworks and push the team to use better tools
Conduct thoughtful code reviews for your team members
Basic qualifications
3+ years of Python experience, 5+ years of software engineering
experience
Proficiency in unit/integration testing
Good understanding of how to implement useful logging
Understanding of code complexity measurements (O(n)) and why it is
important
The skill of documenting your own code (writing useful
comments)
You iterate quickly with short feedback loops
You're comfortable with change and ambiguity and thrive working
autonomously
English level - Intermediate or higher
Experienced using self-improvement apps (habit trackers, time
management tools, fitness trackers, etc.)
Preferred qualifications
Previous experience working at high growth start-ups
Previous experience working with distributed teams in different
time zones

We are an equal opportunity employer and select individuals best
matched for the job based upon job-related qualifications
regardless of race, religion, color, creed, sex, sexual
orientation, age, ancestry, national origin, gender identity,
genetic information, disability, pregnancy, veteran or military
