Senior Backend Engineer (Python) - Poland, Remote

The Role

This is a fully remote position. We currently have a number of remote engineers based in the UK, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Italy, Spain and Portugal.

We’re looking for an experienced (or senior) backend engineer to join the engineering team. You’ll be working alongside a highly technical and motivated team and supported by a Product Manager and Engineering Manager.. You would be expected to apply fundamental engineering and mathematical skills to solve problems and overcome challenges, not just develop code. For people with the right mindset, this frame of mind provides an intellectually stimulating environment.

The engineering team sits at the centre of everything we do at Plentific and is constantly tackling challenging problems, such as online payments, quoting, invoicing, booking, search / scoring algorithms, ETL, data pipelines, in-app messaging, real-time notifications and fraud prevention. Our backend engineers mostly work with Python and Django on an increasingly more service-oriented architecture. The rest of the tech stack include Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, AWS, React.js, Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, Celery, Pandas, Numpy, Git, Jenkins and Elasticsearch. We have a very large but clean code base as we put significant emphasis on design patterns, code readability, automated testing, maintainability and extendability.
