Staff Python Engineer, Application Platform - PandaDoc

Currently, PandaDoc is seeking a Staff Python Engineer to join the Application Platform Track.

We are looking for engineers who are ready to share the PandaDoc cultural code (LIFE for Learn, Impact, Fun, Empathy) and are excited to help create product solutions in our growing business.

In the Application platform track, we own a number of mission-critical services and make them reliable. The first challenge - lead the group of engineers in the decomposition of a monolithic application into domain services. So, we're genuinely interested in people with relevant experience in monolith decomposition and exploitation of distributed systems.

In this role, you will:

• Participate in the development process from ideation through backlog refinement and testing to launching product features and being an on-call engineer for it
• Build and maintain application architecture
• Be a mentor that enjoys spreading the knowledge
• Be leading company-wide change projects
• Be looking to optimize team efficiency, delivery rate, predictability and technical quality of solutions

Our stack:

• Service-oriented architecture, but be prepared to deal with legacy code as well as monolithic service based on the Django framework
• Two main stacks: Java and Python
• Python services are mostly written using AsyncIO frameworks and libraries, but we also have Django-based services with Celery workers under the hood
• Amazon Web Services & Kubernetes
• The main cross-service communication transports are NATS, Kafka, and RabbitMQ
• LGTM as observability stack

About you:

• Mastery in Python
• Proficiency and experience with any relational databases (expressing reach data models and their relationships in complex domains, experience with large tables >100M rows, ability to optimize database and ORM queries in hot-spots)
• Solid experience with async communication over message queues (understanding of delivery guarantees, knowing compromises of scaling producers/consumers) 
• Design experience of asynchronous systems with resiliency and fault tolerance in mind
• Experience in cross-team collaboration on delivering medium-to-large scope projects and initiatives, preferably in either team or tech-lead role
• Not afraid of leading the team in terms of technical vision, inspire in times of uncertainty
• Communicate effectively in English, both orally and in writing
