Software Engineer | Django

We’re looking for an experienced Django engineer to join our team, on a part-time or full-time basis.

As for us, we deploy educational initiatives in terms of the learning ecosystem and course creation for some of the biggest brands, including NVIDIA (courses.nvidia.com), the US Air Force, IBM, Global Knowledge, Modern States Education Alliance and NYU. Our engineers are headquartered in New York but distributed around the world.

The platform we use, Open edX, is primarily written in Django and in use by over 40M learners worldwide, including edx.org‘s 16M+. Take a look at its main GitHub repo and components.

As such, our culture is built on passionate engineers who are highly motivated to learn and able to build projects at every stage, from the conceptual and architectural phase to the backend and frontend. Even if we all have a preference for some phases over the others, it’s crucial that we be able to “own” the full stack of our developments if we need to.

Requirements

We are looking for engineers who are well-versed in Django (and Django REST Framework) to help us extend the platform via additional Django apps and APIs. Other parts of our stack include:

• Ubuntu 16 (optionally, Amazon Web Services)
• Docker / Docker Compose (optionally, Kubernetes)
• ReactJS

Benefits

Adaptable
