Job Description

What you’ll do

As a Python backend developer, you create innovative data storage and analytics software. You are responsible for translating client requirements into functional code, primarily focusing on real-time data processing, storage tools, and integrations from edge to cloud. This includes working with IT network systems and machine learning for remote operations. In addition to coding, you'll also handle testing and implementation.

Your contributions will be most impactful if you possess a working knowledge of analytics solutions and platforms, proficiency in managing PostgreSQL and TimescaleDB systems, and expertise in programming languages next to Python such as C++ and C#.

Familiarity with Grafana and FastAPI is a strong plus. Additionally, you have experience with any of the following microservices architecture components; Docker, Docker security, moby engine and container CI/CD concepts, Confluent Kafka or the ability to learn them fast. Experience in Linux and Azure or other cloud platforms, will further enhance your effectiveness in this role.

Qualifications

This is what you get from us

• A chance to be part of an amazing international team.
• A flexible work environment; at our growing office in Rijswijk and from home.
• The chance to learn, excel in your craft and grow. We will support your education and development with a yearly budget, and you’ll have plenty of freedom for your own ideas and initiative.
• Lunch is on us and on Fridays, we get food from one of our favorite local eateries delivered to the office.
• We’ve got your commuting expenses covered and we offer a bike plan.
• After putting in all effort, we want to make sure you can unwind too. If you work a 40-hour week, you’ll have 24 vacation days, and we will offer you the possibility to work remotely for 2 weeks per year.
• We've got your retirement savings sorted too, and Helin covers half of the contribution.

Who are you?

Honestly, we don't even need to spell out this role for you. You live it and breathe it. To thrive in this team, it's important to work independently, be a quick learner, and have experience with Azure DevOps (or similar) and CI/CD pipelines. Someone who gets a kick out of driving important changes. Someone who leaves a mark!

If you are not an expert yet, you are planning to become one and you:

1. Have at least 3 years of hands-on experience with backend software development projects in all project stages, from development/test to production software delivery within the real time data industry.

2. Are a resident of The Netherlands and have a permanent work permit (we do not sponsor visas nor relocations)

3. Have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering and at least 2 years of proven work experience with backend Python development or equivalent.
