About the company
 
A well known kiwi brand (You’ll know the ads!) that has been a leader in the fintech space for some time is on the look out for their next Python expert.
 
This is a role that won’t just be about bringing your technology skills to the table, but bringing your whole self to work. When a company needs to send you a full page document to describe their benefits package, you know it’s an organization that cares for their people.
 
About the role
 
This organization has a number of roles popping up anywhere from a strong intermediate, all the way to Tech Lead - so the right person could be anywhere within that range.
 
This person will not only be well versed in their favourite Pycharm addons, but also be able to communicate with the team to find the best solution to the problem. Communication is key as your team isn’t huge in numbers, but still delivers a quality product loved by thousands of everyday kiwis.
 
Depending on the role, there could be a mix of infrastructure, backend development, and front end web development (And possibly also mobile if that’s your thing), but above all else, you’ve got to have the chops in Python.
 
What you will bring
 
You’ll be someone who has been there and done that with Python. Experience in Fintech or SAAS products would be ideal, but if your background is more in the data science realm, that’s OK too, as long as you are willing to give all things web a go!
 
You’ll hopefully be someone that past colleagues will say “That person was super helpful anytime I asked them for something”. Being a team player, being a leader no matter your role title on paper, and overall being a cheerful person to be around is important for this role.
 
 
You will need all/most/able-to-fake-it of :

• Experience building web applications utilizing Python
• Experience with API design in any of Django, FastAPI, or Flask
• Solid understanding of database fundamentals (You can write a query without an ORM for example!). Postgres is ideal, but other SQL products are good too
• Be a team player and ready to wear different hats and get stuck in if you need to

 
And some/none-but-willing-to-learn of :

• Any experience in the financial and or investing sector would be advantageous.
• Experience creating and managing infrastructure in AWS utilizing Terraform (Or another cloud/IaC, it’s all transferable!)
• The basics of modern web development. e.x. You only need to lookup that flexbox cheatsheet once a day instead of every hour. Although this role is mostly backend crunching the numbers and not necessarily creating beautiful layouts.
• If you’ve had a bit of experience with Typescript/Javascript, that would also be great, especially if you’ve created a React component or two in your time.

 
Additional information
 
This role is available for both Auckland and Wellington (With a preference for Wellington). The role is not fully remote, but is very much onboard with flexible working arrangements.

The role is only open to candidates with existing working rights within NZ.
