Mixcloud
London, UK
THE ROLE :
We are looking for a Python developer with experience running a large Django application at scale. Ideally you will have good knowledge of the framework - from the SQL produced by the ORM to how to run it in production. Furthermore it's a big plus if you have knowledge of GraphQL, designing backend architecture, or training others. We have a large user base, but a small development team with a flat and flexible structure. This means you'll have the opportunity to learn new skills in new areas, and that the work is generally diverse and interesting.

Our mission is to build a fair and sustainable ecosystem for audio culture. As a critical part of the global music and cultural landscape, we empower DJs, radio hosts, podcasters and tastemakers to build and inspire fan bases.
Mixcloud also helps connect brands to music and culture under our brand partnerships arm, LOUD. We create cutting-edge cultural solutions for brands such as adidas, W Hotels, Sonos, Dr. Martens, Eventbrite, and more.
Whilst we have a great foundation in place, this is the beginning of the next phase of our journey. We are looking for smart and hungry people to join our incredible team and help us realise our vision.

GlusterFS
Elasticsearch

We value techniques such as linting, automatic code formatting, unit tests, coverage reporting, snapshot testing, integration tests and type systems.
Who you are:
We’d expect you to be comfortable with the following tasks:
Understand, debug and optimise queries across the stack. Can you sanity check the SQL that the ORM emits? Can you debug a slow query?
Help us to maintain and develop a GraphQL API that currently services 400 million requests a day.
Familiar with SQL (MySQL/MariaDB) and basic database administration (migrating safely, monitoring the slowlog, building the right indices, etc.,to support tables in the Billions of rows)
Maintain very high test coverage by writing Django unit tests and end-to-end tests with Selenium.
Familiar with CI concepts and common workflow (we use Github and Codeship/CircleCI).
Manage and monitor deploys to our infrastructure. Being unafraid to SSH into a box and get to the root of a problem, as well as being comfortable with basic Linux administration and debugging.
Ideally you
Have strong Python knowledge
Have experience with web technologies at scale, preferably Django
Are comfortable with managing servers and app deployment
Bonus points if you have experience with JS / GraphQL
What will you do?
Work as a member of the team at every stage of software development life cycle - being capable of designing solutions, writing code, testing code, automating unit and integration tests and deployment.
Implement & design the core platform built in Python
Be an active part in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to other members of their team
Work closely with product management on prioritising features which are of key importance to their users
Research and learn new methodologies and technologies and bring knowledge to the team
Provide input and influence discussions around best practices and new technologies, helping us to develop an effective basis for future developments
Benefits
Generous stock options (Fully vesting over 4 years)
Unlimited holiday policy
Autonomy and flexible working culture (Work from home, flexible hours, and occasional remote work.) We don't "clock watch". We focus on happiness, output and quality of work.
Work with really smart people who contribute to the community: We help sponsor The London Django Meetup Group and our engineers often give talks. Swing by to meet our engineers!
Great office culture: Friday DJ lessons, Weekly team lunch provided, a kitchen stocked full of healthy snacks and a huge outdoor patio to soak up the sun and get some fresh air.
Join a smaller development team (16 people) and learn all parts of the stack. We have a flat structure with democratic decision making and we're quite open to suggestions from within.
Personal development: we place a lot of importance in helping develop everyone on the team, in whatever ways people desire/need. This starts with helping identify the right areas for development, and then it could result in finding mentors/advisors, on the job training etc. Mixcloud also covers the cost of books you want to read.
This is a London based position.
Mixcloud is committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace. We encourage applicants of different backgrounds, cultures, genders, experiences, abilities and perspectives to apply.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, physical disability, or length of time spent unemployed.

Reverb
Chicago, IL, USA
We build primarily in Ruby/Rails, Python, Go and React, but we value identifying the right language/framework for the job. We believe in fast development cycles, clean architecture, test driven code, fast specs, and continuous deployment. Everyone at Reverb takes creative initiative, helps set their own priorities, and comes up with new ways to grow the business. Our software engineers take pride in crafting great software but take even more pride in product ownership, taking ideas from concept to release and beyond. Not sure what it's like to work here? Check this out: https://product.reverb.com Here are the qualities we look for in our potential hires:
Product ownership – we are not just software engineers and designers. At Reverb, you’ll be expected to track the performance of features you release, fix bugs, and understand your impact on the business.
Self-motivation - taking initiative to just get things done. Have an idea? Make a pitch and have your idea turned into reality.
Responsibilities:
Building the Reverb core Rails app and refactoring existing code to higher quality standards.
Developing public facing and internal JSON APIs (we use Grape and Go to build these).
Having a deep understanding of your chosen languages and frameworks, enough to understand and make tradeoffs.
Participating in pairing sessions, code reviews, and researching things independently.
Being more than an engineer - a product owner who wants to interact with customers, break down large problems, help set your own priorities, and follow up on the performance of your features to know how they impact customers directly.
Requirements:
Professional experience with React, Ruby 2, Rails 4 and Postgres or other RDBMS.
Experience with unit testing (whether TDD, BDD, or spike it first and test it later) and a desire to push everyone to do better.
Great communication skills and the desire to collaborate across departments and with customers.
Experience with ElasticSearch, Redis, Docker - huge pluses.
What you'll get:
Competitive salary and stock options in a high growth company.
No-bureaucracy environment where ownership and initiative is valued.
Health insurance and a healthy work environment-- no 80 hour weeks.
401k with 4% match.
Flexible vacation and sick days.
A MacBookPro, monitor, keyboard, mouse of your choice. Even a stand up desk if you want!
Discounts on music gear.
This is a local position in Chicago, please no remote workers or recruiters.
