Python Software Engineer – Infrastructure team
Job Description
Your job:
In this position, you will join the new Python Infra team. Our current Python teams all rely on underlying Python infrastructure to be available. It should be reliable, secure, and scalable. However, there is currently no single team that is responsible for our underlying Python infrastructure. Well, not until now!
Your challenges:
Provide reliable Python infrastructure services for other teams to build upon
Keep improving the maintainability of our Python codebase
Improve reliability of our Python services, by e.g. investigating outages and other reliability issues, and then suggest and implement solutions for them
Improve our ability to gracefully scale up as our load increases
Monitoring the performance of our API endpoints and of our background jobs
Implement performance improvements for our Python services
Work on security improvements and provide security-focused reviews to other teams
Building new features will not be the primary focus of this team. However, there may be smaller Python-related projects that the team can pick up, when they don’t fall into the domain of any of the product teams
