Senior Python Engineer

Description:

What you’d be doing?

You’d be the first Backend Engineer to join their engineering team, which currently numbers 5 overall. They expect this would grow to around 12 within the next year as they look to add roughly 8 more heads.

In your first year, you’ll be focusing on building and delivering plenty of new features on this learning platform that helps people to remember everything they learn. You’ll use AI to drive the experiences that delight the users and work with a product powered by LLMs on a daily basis to transform notes and study materials into fun quizzes that are based on cognitive science – think Duolingo but for everything!

About you?

It’s a backend focussed role, working primarily with Python and Flask. They’re happy to talk to people who’ve not worked with Flask before, though experience with machine learning models would put you in good stead.

Ideally, you’ll also have worked with Celery, RabbitMQ and Redis and have a great knowledge of caches and queues. The Founders have some technical knowledge though want the person they bring on to take control of the backend and build a resilient and scalable product (with a big focus on user impact), whilst also sharing knowledge with the team.

On the frontend they work with React, Next and TypeScript. It’s a bonus if you’ve any experience here though absolutely not essential.
