Senior Flask Developer at Venture-Backed Startup with 200K MAUs

tl;dr: Ensure there are no 500's, virtually no 502's, detailed 400's and lots and lots of 200's!

We facilitate entire colleges and large companies around the world to conduct proctored, online assessments with high concurrency. We also roll out features at a rapid pace. Your job will be to ensure that users can continue to use us, as features get deployed. Students and candidates who face a website issue in the middle of a test get furious very easily. Further, we don't have a "Customer Success" team. So, your role will be critical to ensuring that everything runs smoothly!

We won't insult your intelligence by saying that you need to know about REST APIs and that you must help drive engineering excellence. If you don't know that already, you shouldn't apply to this job!

We are a tiny, inexperienced team that has achieved a lot of traction due to our product's timing. We are looking for someone who has worked in established setups so that they can instill some discipline.

Must-have skills:

• Flask & SQLAlchemy
• PostgreSQL
• AWS, git, CI/CD

Good-to-have:

• ReactJS
• Experience leading a team
• Computer-science background in college

If you are the kind who likes to dabble in architecting disparate systems, obsesses over uptime and is constantly thinking of whether you should have just used POST instead of PATCH, you are likely a great fit.
