Company: ITernal Group
Experience required: 5y
English level: upper

**Required skills**
— Experience with Python and 5+ years of software engineering experience:
• We understand that years of experience in itself is not the best measure of one’s expertise. We are looking for people who saw solutions, built solutions, tried multiple technologies, and understand how the industry is changing. We are looking for people who are curious about their tools and how they work.
• It’s one thing to write code, it’s a completely different skill to understand how the program will be executed, how it will scale, what challenges you may encounter;
— We expect knowledge of standard data structures and their usage as well as standard programming principles and methodologies;
— Proactive attitude, ability to work around blocks with creative thinking;
— Experience with developing serverless, loosely coupled applications on major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) using the native SDKs;
— Understanding of horizontal scaling, and concurrency; e.g. what would you do if you have 10k lambdas running in parallel? How would you deal with API/resource limits across various execution contexts? How can you deal with massive caching?
— Experience with container technologies and microservice architecture;
— Experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure):
• If you know AWS, then it’s: EC2, RDS, S3, SSM, Lambda, Step Functions, Networking and VPCs, AWS Security, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB;
• If you know GCP, then it’s: Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, BigTable, BigQuery DataStore, Spanner, Cloud Pub/Sub;
• If you know Azure, then it’s: Azure Functions / Service Fabric, EventGrid, PageBlobs & Managed Disks, Azure Service Bus, Azure Notifications, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB;
— Great communication skills in English;
— Ability to provide 4 hours of overlap with EST hours.

**As a plus**
— Familiarity with at least one IaaC technology: Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, etc.
— Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Docker Compose.

**We offer**
• The environment where you can implement your ideas;
• Plans for growth and the performance review (every 6 months);
• Flexible schedule: 8 hours per day, opportunities to working remotely;
• Paid vacation (18 working days per year and all national holidays) and sick leaves (10 working days per year);
• Participation in educational activities and thematic conferences with 70% coverage by the company;
• Communication with clients from all over the world and working with such domains — E-health, Fintech, E-commerce, Logistics;
• Freedom in decision-making;
• Corporate events and team buildings.

**Responsibilities**
— You will be building, testing, validating new optimization recipes as well as debugging and improving existing ones;
— You will be building a fault-tolerant and infinitely scalable platform that is capable of processing information coming from hundreds of sources;
— Writing reliable, testable, readable, and documented code;
