Mission of our Python Developer
You assist in programming the foundations of Pit&Pit on Google App Engine. You ensure optimal user convenience of our website for employees and clients through application of backend microservices. You create a fast and solid code that is well-structured and documented.
Goals of our Python Developer
Within your first month, you understand our repositories and the concept of our code base. You know the structure and grasp the what's, where's and why's of our code. You know the code and understand the underlying parts and foundations. You know our focus points. You will build your first tested and user-ready microservice from scratch by use of a clear API definition. You receive approval from the users and feel hungry for more.
Within the first quarter you will be able to elaborate a complete subproject, consisting of new and existing microservices, from idea to operational product. Throughout the process, you communicate efficiently with all stakeholders to ensure that the result meets the demands and goals of the project. You make suggestions to improve working conditions and tools so that everybody can work in a more efficient and enjoyable way.
On the longer term, you will learn to manage the entire python code base. You give shape to the infrastructure and manage large parts of the system. You can easily respond to the needs and demands of the team.
