About the role
We’re looking for smart Python developers to join our back-end development team. We are recruiting at various levels from Computer Science graduates to those with several years coding experience.

You will be well supported to continue your professional development. This includes an annual conference allowance, Learning & Development budget and monthly development sessions with your manager to identify and track your development goals. As we continue to grow opportunities for you to develop your career, becoming a Team Lead, Project Lead or Staff Engineer could be available to the right candidate.
