About You

You love building great software and have a passion for QA. Your work could be supporting new feature development, maintaining existing features, or creating APIs.

You have worked with teams before on large and demonstrable projects (preferably built on Python). You’re also familiar with PostgreSQL and AWS services like Lambdas, S3, ECS etc. You have experience working with RESTful API/SFTP and Cloud development. In addition you bring file formatting knowledge with CSV,JSON,XML,PDF and EDI. You understand how to design systems in a distributed manner across hundreds (and even thousands) of servers – we handle 100s of millions of API calls every week and are growing fast. You understand Agile software development and DevOps practices, and can work closely with QA teams to optimize your code.You have hands-on experience with writing unit tests (preferably using common Python libraries like unittest and PyTest) and you are familiar on how to define test cases and find weaknesses in software.

You relish creating high quality code from the comfort of your own home. Your engineering projects will focus on understanding customers’ needs and translating those needs from product specifications into functional, production ready code. You’ll have the opportunity to ship code daily that will be used by customers.

You love learning. Engineering is an ever-evolving world. You enjoy playing with new tech and exploring areas that you might not have experience with yet. You are self-driven, self-learner willing to share knowledge and participate actively in your community.

Having overlap with your team is critical when working in a global remote team. Modus requires all team members to overlap with EST morning hours daily and for our client we need you to be aligned with PST. In addition, reliable high speed internet is a must.
