SpiderOak is looking for a senior-level Django developer to help build out our backend web systems and our enterprise integration stack. You will need to be comfortable with building, nurturing, and deploying complex Django projects at scale. A mastery of how Linux interacts as part of the application stack and some DevOps (specifically Docker) experience is a must; as well as experience in writing queries for, deploying, and maintaining, PostgreSQL. You must be able to work with the team in navigating building and shipping complicated code on a tight time budget, with as much automated tooling and testing as possible. Finally, you should be comfortable working with the team on code review and security hardening. Our customers put a lot of faith in us, and it is imperative that we maintain their trust.
Preference for Kansas City area candidates, but remote work is possible. Significant overlap with US Central time zone required. You will be expected to communicate regularly with the rest of your team, working out problems and collaborating in a daily basis to drag projects across the finish line. The ability to take lead on projects falling under your responsibility is paramount. While we do not use a strict Agile methodology, it is important that your development be focused around a feedback loop with your peers as you work, and you must be familiar and comfortable with regularly working through the code of both you and your teammates as work progresses. We require a basic working proficiency in the written and spoken English language, and the ability to travel to the United States 1-4 times a year for team meet-ups.
Much as we believe in internet privacy for all, we do not discriminate in who we choose to be part of our team. We know no boundaries based on race, ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexuality, or other terms humans use to separate the ‘us’ from the ‘them’. If you can do the job and communicate readily, we will be happy to work with you.
We offer a compensation package including paid vacation, holiday, and personal time for all, and US workers enjoy a full benefit package including medical, dental, vision, life, and short and long term disability insurance.
Our interview process involves a phone conversation and then work sample testing.
