Senior Django Developer - Team Lead
We're a site for university graduates to find graduate positions.
GradConnection is expanding fast as a ambitious, profitable and easy-going
company. In Australia, over 70% of graduates employed in graduate positions
found their graduate position from gradconnection.com.au.
We're also busy expanding to South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong.
At the same time we've been learning more about our clients, constantly
performing customer development work and are currently developing two new
products that are independent of our GradConnection website.
We use Django, Django REST framework, AngularJS/React, Socket.IO,
Gerrit/Jenkins, Gulp/Grunt, Postgres.
We value work-life balance and very strongly discourage working outside normal
working hours more than a couple of days a month.
-- What you'll be doing with us --
Our company's goal is to connect graduates with work opportunities with
different employers on a global basis. This is something that no other company
in the world is currently doing in the online campus recruitment space.
We have been re-structuring our software development processes over the past
year, moving from the ad-hoc processes that helped this company achieve
market dominance in Australia.
As a senior software engineer, you'll be responsible for contributing to
the development of our upcoming projects such as the next generation of
HR and recruitment products as well as improvements on our existing flagship
website.
You'll be working with a company with a presence in South Africa, Asia, and
Australia.
-- What we expect from you --
- Excellent coding skills and a track record of getting stuff done.
- Several years of full-stack web development, frontend, backend, database.
- Previous experience in leading and mentoring less experienced developers.
- Have strong opinions on projects you are developing.
- Eager to influence the software development process as well as product design
  and UX experience.
You will be a core pillar in our software development team, and you will be
required to lead as we expand our South African office. You will advance our
in-house software engineering processes and expertise.

github repository and/or other projects you may have done before to
