Remote  — 4+ Years Experience

Variance is a SaaS company helping companies drive more growth with their customers. We do that by hooking into and processing large amounts of customer data and presenting that to non-technical users in an easy to consume format. 

As a founding member of our engineering team, you will have a lot of opportunities to build the foundation of our platform, and influence decision-making alongside our engineer leads and founders. You will get to work with a modern tech stack with React, Python, and GraphQL to build out a next-generation SaaS platform. Additionally, there will be opportunities to grow as an engineering leader as the company scales through direct and active mentoring with experienced leaders.

A great candidate would…

• Be comfortable shouldering a large amount of programming across the back-end stack: Building APIs and services for data-processing and rules-based decision making
• Have an opinion on the best way to architect a large Python application that balances short-term time-to-market with long-term maintainability concerns.  
• Want to work with a small team directly with the founders on building a product and a company.
  

Required experience:

• 4+ years of back-end engineering experience building reliable, scalable, secure, and performant API platforms
• Worked on at least one previous in-production Python application
• Working with a cloud-based deployment environment such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Early-stage experience working on a small team, iterating on a product that is responsive to user prototyping and feedback from early customers.
• Understanding of how to work with client-side engineers working with multiple user interfaces
  

Preferable experience:

• Working with GraphQL backend APIs
• Previous experience with building B2B SaaS software (bonus: if that experience includes streaming data)
• Experience with the latest Python 3 features, including type hints and asyncio
