We're seeking Python Developers (scrum team) who are eager for a new challenge.
You'll sign a direct contract with an e-commerce company based in Boston, Massachusetts, that was launched in 2015.
Because the major European command center is in Berlin, you'll need to be prepared to travel to Germany from time to time - especially in the aftermath of a pandemic.
If you have a passion for technology, get things done and own what you build, question the status quo, then look no further!
Working hours: The usual working hours are from 9 to 5, but there is some flexibility around this. As we work with the US timezone (with a time difference of 6 hrs) we expect people to be available between 2 and 4 pm. for cross-border meetings. There is a possibility that our people sometimes work until 6 pm, but never later than that. Unless someone wants too :)

- Manage how to store, perform queries, and manage big data on/to different data sources (BigQuery, ElasticSearch, Postgres)
- Understand all of the technologies we use. While each of us focuses on specific areas, we help each other and learn from each other

- Technologies & programming languages we use: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Groovy, GO, Kubernetes, Vanilla JS (a usable backend trumps a shiny frontend).
