Lead Full Stack Python Developer
Competitive
WCN is seeking a lead full stack Python AWS/Linux developer to implement proof of concept web products that enable new audiences to use our big data analytics and machine learning algorithms.
You will be part of a very experienced technical team that includes experts in infrastructure, Perl, JavaScript, SQL, and security. You will be the sole Python developer, so this is a leadership role requiring you to evangelise and expand its use.
You must be confident in building web applications from scratch in AWS, probably using Django, and be able to advise on robust architectures that scale.
You will responsible for initial user interface design. We would prefer a clean separation between backend and front end via a reusable API. So you will have good JavaScript (angular a bonus), HTML, CSS etc. and a flair for design.
The products will require user accounts, authentication and storage of data so a database will be required – but the decision between mongo DB, MySQL, or an alternative platform will be yours to lead.
You will be working closely with senior stakeholders, including the CEO, and will be key to achieving company strategy and innovation.
We want someone who can identify and deliver the minimal viable product; someone who is comfortable with iteration and refactoring within an agile development process and who doesn’t gold-plate; but someone who will promote discussion of alternative ideas, approaches, and designs and who works towards perfection.
- Excellent Python, probably with Django.
- Educated to degree level
- You need to be full stack so that means:
- o Database experience: you may be most comfortable using a NoSQL alternative but you must know basic SQL
- o Must know how to write a simple query using Join or Group By without resorting google
- o Front End experience: Must be able to put together a stylish a user interface.
- o Good experience of Bootstrap and JavaScript
- o Must know what variable hoisting is, or be able to describe variable scoping
- Demonstrate ability to build applications on AWS and Linux; solid experience of hosting on Linux as a minimum requirement.

- Experience of working with senior stakeholders
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
