We are a small UK SaaS company hiring a python developer (remote)
by Premonition Software April 27, 2022

April 27, 2022

Hi, We're a small UK company called Premonition Software, looking to hire a full stack python developer, in a permanent role, as we grow the company. We're 100% remote, led by 2 hands-on co-founders, with everyone based in the UK. We're doing interviews at the moment including an online coding exercise (pair programming in AWS Cloud9) where we're looking for fluency in python coding as well as problem-solving ability and communication skills. Full details below. # Background At Premonition, we build PropTech SaaS software to help clients with large property estates (including high street retailers and government organisations) by intelligently processing their financial data, analysing their statutory documents and collecting important information directly from their suppliers via our easy-to-use web applications and REST APIs. To do this, we use: * async python and React+MUI * MongoDB * Kubernetes * web services from AWS and Google You will work directly with the hands-on founders of a growing software business and have the perfect opportunity to build on their industry insights by creating niche software which aims to be a joy to use. You can read about our range of products at: https://premonition.software # Requirements * Several years of professional experience as a software developer * A solid base of programming fluently in python, including significant projects in your career history and a comprehensive knowledge of the language * Experience writing single-page applications (SPA) and familiarity with Material Design * Experience of technical leadership would be beneficial * Although the role is remote, you must be based in the UK: If you prefer not to work from home, we can arrange desk space at a suitable co-working facility, as necessary * The hours worked could be flexible or the role could be part-time if preferred * Aside from the day-to-day role, you will need to travel to London, at least twice a year for technical workshops and pair programming with the rest of the team # How We Work We're a 100% remote company, partly because we appreciate that software development is a creative endeavour. Whilst our architectural and design principles are rigorously applied, we encourage developers to produce their best work by giving them space and time to experiment and create. We believe that written communication is the most powerful way to convey complex topics, so we set time aside for designs to be written up, reviewed and discussed before coding starts. You will then be expected to write code that is easy to read, has thorough test coverage and to own the deployment process, which is fully automated, right through to production. Once in production, we consider monitoring a healthy running application to be key functionality and you may be required to provide "on call" support where you have control over how the automatic monitoring is implemented. You will sometimes need to research and evaluate new libraries and technologies and work towards a team consensus on what is introduced and the scope of where it is used. You will particularly need to keep up to speed on security best practices (e.g. the OWASP Top Ten) as all our code is reviewed and tested from a security standpoint. # How To Apply This is a permanent role. No agencies please. Please prepare your CV as a PDF and apply at: https://premonition.software/careers.html or drop us a note with any questions to: contact(a)premonitionsoftware.co.uk Thanks, Dan @ Premonition Software
