We’re on a mission to elevate the careers and livelihoods of millions of blue collar professionals, artisans, and other informal workers through the use of technology. Join us.
You:As an engineering intern you have recently finished college, maybe gotten your first work experience and are excited as ever to learn the tools of the trade. You spend your days coding and your nights reading about code. You regularly get into heated debates with your peers about which technology, language or framework is best but you are also beginning to understand that it is typically not as simple as that and that different tools are good for different tasks.You’ll be responsible for:
Helping us build out frontend entities on various platforms and frameworks (angular, ionic, backbone, django)
Writing solid and testable backend code
Finding smart solutions to the many real world problems we face
Successful candidates will have all or most of these qualifications:
Show us why they are suited for this position, rather than just tell us
Fluent English
Good knowledge in at least one server based language like e.g. Java, Python, C#, PHP, Clojure or others
Good understanding of SQL
Javascript on server and client
Able to fit into a fun and outgoing work environment
Understanding of Linux/Unix
You’re a product-obsessed software engineer who evaluates all of your work through the lens of user experience, regardless of which layer of the stack you’re working in. You’ve created a number of fully-formed software products that have been released into the wild. You believe that code is a means to an end, not the end itself.
Because the range of projects is diverse, we need a full-stack Python engineer with experience working on a wide variety of products. You’ll work on projects like: improving our natural language date range search, implementing integrations with 3rd party services, or working to improve the responsiveness and reliability of our API. You’ll also work with the entire team in creating new customer-facing features, from idea, through prototype, to release and maintenance.
Technical background
Our backend runs on Python with MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch on AWS. You should have experience building scalable and maintainable services with Python.
Our front-end is built with CoffeeScript, SASS and HAML. You should have a deep understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript.
The glue between our front-end and back-end is HTTP, so you should have a thorough understanding of this part of the stack including: cookies, caching, AJAX, cross-domain sharing, security issues, etc.
We write automated tests for all of our code. You should be passionate about testing since you know it’s the only way to deliver high quality software.
Benefits
People are the most important part of Atec Web Services, and we take care of our own.
Work remotely or from our beautiful Thika office
Unlimited equipment budget
Relocation assistance
Flexible schedule
Generous maternity and paternity leave
Unlimited vacation and paid time off
About the team
We are a small design-driven team, focused on impeccable user experience. Simplicity, quality, and care inform our decisions and processes. We believe in a collaborative, feedback-rich design process, and feel that great experiences can only come from teams who care deeply. This is the company we’ve always wanted to exist. We share what this all means to us on our blog.
How to apply
If you’re interested, please send a link to your Github account and any products you’ve worked on recently of which you are particularly proud. We prefer great work over resumes.
