Python Backend Developer

Salary Competitive

You will help designing, improving and implementing backend services to support our whole platform. You will be working with a stack consisting of Python services (currently using Flask) hosted on the Google Cloud Platform, communicating data to our React frontend through a RESTful API. We are a data driven marketplace startup which means that your role will extend beyond committing code to being a part of deciding how and what we should build in our product.


The role is an integral part of Yta.se future growth, where you will be a member of a small team investing heavily in product development. You will work closely with our lead developer, a frontend developer and the rest of the team to turn product plans into continuously pushed code. Examples of challenges you will face include: creating tools to improve the sales process efficiency, providing fast and reliable APIs to be consumed by the frontend and migrating some of the existing services to a more reliable platform.


How we work

We work with one week sprints and one month road maps that translate directly into your work tasks. In our workflow we use planning and communication tools such as Slack and Github. Being a small organization, we’re all part of the same team. Decisions are made fast and everyone's opinion is highly valued. It's a full time job and you’ll be located at our Stockholm office where the spoken language is English.


Skills & Requirements

You are highly passionate about programming with a proven track record of writing clean and maintainable Python code. You always strive to follow best practices and document your code. Working in a small organization suits you, where you enjoy managing your own projects as well as being a part of creating the workflows that are adapted to you and the rest of the organization. You find the opportunity to build something new and taking pride in your architectural decisions exciting.
