Python Software Engineer

Ideally hybrid, fully remote considered

You are an early career Software Engineer with some knowledge of Python and SQL related languages. You are keen to progress in a full stack environment which will include, REST APIs and microservice architecture, containers and cloud technologies (e.g. Kubernetes, Docker, AWS) and Linux development/operations.

It would be great if you understand some of these technologies, but don’t worry if you don’t have them all, we will provide training and support.

About our stack:

We develop web applications and REST APIs with a microservice architecture. Our stack currently includes Python and PostgreSQL with a range of popular support tools and frameworks. We deploy containerised environments on Kubernetes (AWS) using GitLab pipelines and Helm, and we automate our testing and deployment pipelines wherever possible. Although we are doing mostly backend work, we also do some frontend development, using Typescript and Vue.js, and there is a strong DevOps aspect to our work. We are open minded about what we use and always strive to improve and use the right tools for the job.

What will you do:

The core aim of the Development Team is to provide departments across the business with the software they need to work as effectively as possible. This covers a wide variety of projects, from developing tools to help with the design, validation, and visualisation (both GIS and graph) of our network, designing storage and versioning solutions, implementing tools for the tracking of our build or improving our retail customer journey. Being Agile is key to what we do: the business is evolving quickly, and we are working closely with other teams to assist them in various projects. This gives us plenty of room for taking initiatives and making a difference.

Where will you go:

When you join, we will show you a clear progression route via training and technology learning that enables growth to next level Software Engineering roles up to Senior and Principle.

We believe in creating a friendly, diverse, supportive, and inclusive environment, with a strong focus on personal development through code reviews, developers’ meetings, mentoring and training.

Who are we:

We bring digital happiness and brilliant broadband to rural communities – We are a dynamic internet service provider.   We bring broadband infrastructure where there is little provision. Our internal and external stakeholders range from a village of potential customers, small businesses, thru to councils, investors and financiers.  We have a small army of field engineers and multiple complex systems.
