Python Developer

Job Description

Hi there!
This is our role Python Developer for those who want to turn ideas into reality using code, algorithms, and maybe a bit of magic.

Tasks in the role:

• Maintaining and implementing new features in our current project, collaborating with the front-end developer and designer.

• Designing and implementing the backend architecture of new projects, including infrastructure considerations.

• Ensuring new functionality is covered with unit tests and participating in the development of end-to-end (e2e) tests.

• Collaborating with other developers in the company and assisting them with integrating our products.

• Solving non-trivial tasks, such as understanding how semantic search works, overcoming limitations of existing systems, and establishing benchmarks for the search engine.

• Our main technology stack includes: Backend - Python 3.10+, FastAPI, pytest. Infrastructure - Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Google Cloud Platform, GitLab CI.

Requirements

Who we are looking for:

• Experience in Python development.

• Experience in developing commercial web applications.

• Experience with Docker and CI/CD.

• Understanding of how browsers, web services, and REST APIs work.

• Understanding the value of unit testing and code reviews.

• Proficiency in technical English (conversational skills are even better).

They say there are no perfect candidates, but that might well be you, if:

• Experience with Kubernetes and Helm.

• Experience with full-text search engines or complex indexes in databases.

• Experience with data processing pipelines.

• You share our common values: Trust, because we prefer to speak up and be our true selves; Sense of Ownership, because it’s not worth wasting time on something you don’t believe in; and enthusiasm for Constant Changes, because we are always looking to make things better.

About the Team

A bit about the team: The Papyrus Team collects, validates, and formalizes knowledge accumulated by Semrush specialists into a fit-for-purpose knowledge delivery system. In this system, developers can quickly find information to solve their work tasks, relying on the experience and expertise of the entire Semrush professional community.

• We have a small team, so we like to test ideas in the form of a PoC before putting all the resources into development.

• We make internal products, and our audience is Semrush developers, so we can quickly get feedback about our products and understand if we are moving in that direction.

• We have not had time to type legacy yet, and we can stay in the trend of technologies: sentence embedding, modern search engines, FastAPI.

• We are engaged in a new direction for the company, so we still have a lot of unexplored and unknown; it is interesting to work here.

• We pay great attention to team and technical processes.

Benefits

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably:

• It’s up to you to decide what work format works best for you. You can #wfo, #wfh, or mix both.

• Flexible working day start.

• Health insurance coverage.

• Working from a modern coworking space (or working from home).

• Corporate events.

• Unlimited PTO.

• Hobby benefit.

• Training, courses, conferences.

• English and Spanish courses.

• Gifts for employees.
