Python Software Engineer

Job description

We’re looking for a Python Software Engineer to join our Development team.

While strong Back-end expertise is especially important for this role, we’d love to have someone who is Full Stack—or open to working across the stack—to help us build and support our Plytix PIM.

Our Development team is based in Málaga, but whether you prefer coding from the office, your home, or even another city, that’s perfectly fine.

What matters most is you!

What is Plytix?

This is where you’d typically see a long paragraph of boring text that no one reads, peppered with corporate buzzwords that don’t mean anything.

But Plytix is no typical company, so we’ll spare you from that.

Instead, watch this video, and if you like what you see, keep scrolling.

the opportunity?

This is your chance to play a part in building a leading multichannel platform, working with diverse talent and innovative technology.

You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of an ever-expanding scale-up with your ideas and coding experience.

What will you be doing?

A day in the life of a Plytix developer is an exciting one.

You’ll be collaborating on challenges, like taking an active role in the service designs and making sure that they are scalable and robust.

You will need to ensure these designs are implemented following the latest design patterns and best practices.

You’ll have scrum ceremonies to stay on the same page as your fellow developers, from retrospective meetings to sprint planning.

You’ll always be aligned with your team for when you dive into pull requests or user stories.

All in all, you’ll be a busy bee.

But don’t worry, there’s always time to crack open a beer and have fun!

After 1 month: You’ll have a good grasp of our favorite tools and processes, and your code will start flowing.

You’ll start reviewing user stories and will be given small tasks so that you can start to show off your engineering skills.

You’ll take part in peer reviews with QA, making sure that clients don’t spot any errors before we do.

After 3 months: You’re now becoming a true Plytix dev, evaluating and estimating user stories.

You’re writing tests and working more independently.

You still have some supervision, but at this point, you’re feeling comfortable with what you are doing.

You’re taking part in sprints and beginning to integrate well into the team’s workflow.

6 months in: You’re fully integrated into the team.

You work just as well (and as quickly) as anyone else on the team! You’re collaborating with other departments to find the best possible solutions for our customers to have the best quality system.

You’re delivering high-quality, fast-running code that’ll be tested to iron out any potential errors.

By now, you’re confident in your role, reviewing and approving other engineers’ code (always following our standards, of course!) and even providing advice to junior developers.

Who will you be working with?

You’ll be working with your fellow frontend and backend engineers, making sure that everything is running smoothly, but they aren’t the only shining faces you’ll be working with on a daily basis.

You’ll also be working with the QA and Product teams to keep customers smiling about how amazing their Plytix PIM is.

If you’re curious about what our dev culture is like, take a peek at what Plytix’s development team has to offer —you know you want to.

We expect you to:

5+ years of professional experience in web software development Solid experience in Python backend development (Django, Flask, or similar) Strong foundations in Python 3+ (async, concurrency, generators, decorators, etc.) Some experience with modern JS frontend frameworks (Angular, React, or similar) or an openness to learn and work fullstack when needed Familiarity or good understanding of JavaScript fundamentals.

Experience working in environments based on Docker, Kubernetes, and Linux

You might also have:

Experience with message brokers like RabbitMQ Understanding of cloud-native distributed systems and microservices

Nice to have:

Experience with CI/CD tools Knowledge of micro frontends or web components

About our culture:

If you love reading ‘empowering’ phrases like “vibrant collective” and “innovative individuals,” then be prepared to be disappointed…

That’s because to get a typical result, you have to do only typical things.

But that’s not really our style.

We’re a community of chill and fun-loving humans who believe that work doesn’t have to be boring.

We make each day exciting by collaborating together and enjoying the occasional bout of silliness: like a pool competition, potluck, party, or game of padel.

We’re kind of the cool kids in the PIM playground (if we do say so ourselves), and we love to challenge the status quo to help anyone break free from f*#king boring spreadsheets.

PLYTIX is a company committed to diversity and equality.

Therefore, all our selection processes guarantee equal opportunities for all candidates regardless of race, color, religion, sex, origin, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements, merit, and individual qualifications.
