2) An API layer for client-side consumption
3) Client-side applications designed for specific user groups
As our platform continues to grow, we’d want you to help expand and improve the capabilities of the application and API layers.

• Enforcing best practices through peer/code reviews
• Ensuring that we are continuously raising our standard of engineering excellence
Requirements:
• Three or more years of professional experience in Python
• Django experience is a strong plus. If you’ve used another Python framework, that’s fine
• Really good understanding of REST APIs
• A solid understanding of Git, or a similar version control system
Bonus points for experience in these areas:
• Experience modeling and implementing data structures in PostgreSQL/PostGIS
• Background task queues (Celery, RabbitMQ)
• Redis
• GIS and related technologies (GeoDjango, ESRI, PostGIS)
• ETL data pipelines
• Elasticsearch or other search technologies
We offer:
• A competitive compensation package, with medical/dental/vision/401(k)/disability/conference attendance, etc.
• An awesome team with whom to collaborate
• A commitment to your career so you can grow
• An open-source culture that encourages learning and contributing back to the community
