Datashake is building a data layer for the Internet, turning scraped data into intelligent data. We are API-first and build tools for developers, ranging from software engineers to quants and data scientists.
Datashake is part of
Shake Ventures, an established business with thousands of paying customers and a team of 15. We're searching for a full-time Python Engineer (remote) that can help build out our existing APIs. Being bootstrapped (not venture-backed) and fully remote, we don’t strive for growth at all costs, and are building a company that we can be proud of, and enjoy working for.
Our ideal candidate has:
- 2+ years of Python experience
- Experience working with Redis and Celery queues
- A passion for delivering highly maintainable and scalable code
- An appreciation for data quality and consistency
Nice to have:
- Experience creating products for developers, data engineers and/or data consumers
- Experience with high volume scraping (eg. rotating IPs, CAPTCHAs)
- Experience with ElasticSearch
- A keen eye for detail, striving for perfection
- Self-starter who is able to take ownership of projects
In a typical day, you will:
- Refactor code to improve our logic
- Add new functionality to our APIs
- Write understandable API documentation (internal or external)
- Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to our product development
- Ensure data quality and consistency across our scraping
Our team is fully-remote and we communicate primarily through Slack, Asana and a few short, weekly meetings via Hangout — we believe the best work happens when given lots of uninterrupted time that’s free of distractions.
