Are you as passionate about system architecture as you are about clean code and product development?
Do you want to trim millisecs and constantly improve things?
Are you itching to test out the latest build of elastic search and want to push the boundaries of what job matching can be?
Then you might be the right person for us!
DUMA Works is building a world-class job matching system and we’re looking for a skilled and experienced python developer to join the team.
As a product developer at Duma Works you’ll be part of a product development team where you’ll help define, design and develop the future of Duma Works. You’ll spearhead the backend development, set standards, define methods and inspire the rest of the team.
The work you do will help thousands of job seekers in Kenya and abroad take the next step in their career and if you’re built like us you’re thrilled by the opportunity to influence and affect.
Through a quick and agile development process you’ll transform mock-ups to working features, A/B-test to optimize and iterate your way to perfection.
If you love to develop and create new products as much as you love clean and lightning fast code you’ll probably feel at home at Duma Works.
Desired skills & experience
If you start at Duma Works you’ll:
Design and develop new parts of the Duma Works platform
Proactively run the development of backend frameworks and architecture
Actively contribute to the product development at Duma Works
You’ll need:
Deep experience from developing and maintaining python based web apps
Strong architectural, code design and optimisation skills
A passion to learn new things and master what you already know
It will definitely be useful if you have:
Experience from working with Django
Experience from working with MySQL
Experience from working agile
Experience from working with git
Interest in user experience and interaction design
The Duma Works platform is written in Django, and as a backend developer it will definitely be an advantage if you have prior experience of the framework.
However, if you’re the right person for the job, you won’t have any problems grasping and learning new frameworks and languages quickly.
We’re also very interested in hearing about your pet projects! We’d like to see examples of your previous work in the form of reference projects or code examples.
