Django Tech Lead at Wildfish (<a href=") | London | UK applicants only. Mostly remote, but some London meetings.
We're a London based consultancy specialising in building web apps for startups using Django.
We're looking for a Technical Lead. You'll need to be someone who is an enthusiastic and experienced hands on developer when required, but also comfortable managing and scheduling a team of developers and their workload, and happy to be a point of contact for the client or product owner for your team's projects. You'll need to be able to work autonomously so it's important that you're the sort of person who has attention to detail.
We all work remotely via Slack, but we'll need you to be in or near to close enough to London to come in for meetings as required.
Everyone in our organisation has a background in code so it's at the core of our organisation, so we'd like you to be someone who is passionate about their craft, and eager to share and learn with others who feel the same. We'd encourage you to be contributing to our open source projects and blogging as a regular part of your work.
Some of the skills which would be useful:
- Python / Django
- Ubuntu Server Administration (AWS / Linode / Docker)
- Project Management
- HTML / CSS / Javascript
- React (plus npm, browserify and associated JS tooling)
- Twitter Bootstrap
- PostgreSQL, Redis, Nginx, Elasticsearch
- Testing / TDD
- Docker / Ansible / Terraform
We've also recently finished a couple of projects in React Native, so any interest or experience in that would be a bonus. Please email REDACTED_EMAIL, and let us know 3 of your favourite Django apps along the salary or rate you're looking for. As this is a fairly key position ideally we're looking for someone permanent but we'll also consider someone who might like to freelance to start with.
