PYTHON DEVELOPER

About the role

This role focuses on developing and optimizing a high-load microservice architecture for Betby's sportsbook platform. The work involves contributing to system architecture design, making technology selections, and solving complex engineering problems. You will be part of a team that delivers new features and improvements, ensuring the system can handle significant user traffic.

The position requires collaboration within small teams to enhance the existing microservice-based systems. Success in this role means effectively contributing to feature delivery and system improvements, demonstrating a strong understanding of asynchronous programming and microservice design principles. The company emphasizes an iterative software development process, suggesting a dynamic work environment.

Betby operates a sportsbook with risk management and omni-channel support, serving a global player base. The company maintains offices in multiple countries and supports remote talent. This role offers an opportunity to work within an international team on a product that reaches millions of users.

The annual salary for this position ranges from $80,500 to $138,000.

Skills that matter here

• Python 3.11: This is the primary programming language and specific version required for developing and optimizing the microservices.
• asyncio: A strong understanding and practical experience with this library are essential for building high-performance, asynchronous applications.
• Microservice architecture: Experience with this architectural style is crucial for designing and implementing the distributed systems used by Betby.
• Kafka: Practical experience with Kafka in production environments is needed for handling stream processing and message queuing.
• Docker: Knowledge of Docker is beneficial for containerization and deployment of microservices.
• SOLID principles: A good understanding of these software design principles is expected for writing maintainable and scalable code.
