We are building an exciting Python team in Hanoi!
We are looking for senior candidates with ideally 5+ years of demonstrable experience in Python to join the team working on a revolutionary cloud-based product appraisal tool, that is now quickly growing globally within the InsurTech industry. If you are keen on supporting and improving an ongoing, live project while designing and developing features to grow the business, this opportunity could be for you.
What you will be working on
- Data! The project is data born, data driven and its success is defined by data quality. Regardless of whether you are coding unit tests, designing a new API endpoint, configuring cloud functions or troubleshooting infrastructure, you will ultimately be working with data.
- This role will primarily be improving and developing our application that processes and delivers data to our clients via REST API and its supporting ecosystem of services.
Who you will be working with
- There is a growing team with colleagues from most continents. With a wide blend of skills, experience and cultures. English is the primary company language. Depending on the specific tasks being performed, you could be working solo or in a 2-3 member team. You will be interacting daily with the Stockholm team.
What we are looking for
- While technical skills are important to be able to do the work, we are very interested in who you are as an individual. Teamworking skills, communication, and the ability to think objectively are important to us.
- We value flexibility. There are many ways to get work done - We are building a team that can come together to achieve goals. Having worked with Online Shopping / eCommerce / Price Comparison sites or data driven consumer services (finance etc..) will give you a strong advantage.
What you will need
- The 2 technologies you will need solid experience with are Python and SQL (specifically MySQL). Supporting technologies that you should be familiar with are NoSQL (we use Elastic and Mongo, but any NoSQL experience is good). Cloud computing experience will be helpful. We run our infrastructure on the Google Cloud Platform but any cloud background is useful (AWS, Azure etc..)
- Additional specific technologies we use include: Redis, Airflow, Docker, Python Scrapy, and good old Bash.
Who you are
- You are social, not afraid to be hands-on and capable of taking tasks or projects from initiation to completion.
- You are responsive and part of the team regardless of your immediate workload.
- You understand the symbiosis of data and software. You are not afraid of databases.
- You have a client-first, team-first mentality. Everything else is secondary.
- Ideally, you have some years of experience in data driven projects.
Who you will be working for
- The company was founded in 2005 as the pioneer of the Product Reviews aggregation and analysis sector. The purpose of the company is to collect, structure, match, analyse, present and syndicate product and review data, globally.
