About You

You love building great software and enjoy collaborating in a consultative environment. Your work could be supporting new feature development, migrating existing features, or creating APIs. As an experienced backend Python developer with strong coding skills you will design, develop and implement a suite of API’s working with existing systems while making contributions towards future architecture.

You have worked with teams before on large and demonstrable projects built in Python with a strong emphasis on object oriented programming, design patterns, common algorithms and  relational database system. Experience with RESTful services, queuing solutions, relational databases, Linux, and server protocols is a plus.

Previous experience with designing architecture for high volume web services, distributed processing along with containerization, Elastic Stack (rsyslog, Logstash, Elastic Search, Kibana), Redis is a plus.

You relish creating high quality code from the comfort of your own home on an agile team. Your engineering projects will focus on understanding customers’ needs and translating those needs from product specifications into functional, production ready code. You’ll have the opportunity to ship code daily that will be used by customers.

You love learning. Engineering is an ever-evolving world. You enjoy playing with new tech and exploring areas that you might not have experience with yet.  You are self-driven, self-learner willing to share knowledge and participate actively in your community.

Having overlap with your team is critical when working in a global remote team. Modus requires all team members to overlap with EST morning hours daily. In addition, reliable high speed internet is a must.
