And if this makes you enthusiastic, you can also take a look at some of our open-source work at https://github.com/channable to get a feeling of how we work together and what our code looks like.

Who are you?

You are an enthusiastic developer and a critical thinker. You will interact with a lot of new and external HTTP APIs, you are not afraid of experimenting with them to learn how they work. At Channable we help each other to become better as a team. That's something you believe in as well. Besides the skills you currently have, an eager-to-learn mindset is just as important.

Additionally, you have:

• Approximately 2 years of experience developing applications in Python

• Approximately 2 years of experience working with web APIs and related technologies, as we both consume external and build our own web APIs

• Good understanding of HTTP, TLS/SSL and TCP/IP

• Familiarity with SQL and relational databases, as we use Postgres heavily

• Good working knowledge of Linux, git and the command-line

• High engineering standards: do you like to leave your code cleaner than you found it? So do we!

• EU citizenship or a valid work permit for the Netherlands, you are preferably already living in The Netherlands

• Available for at least 32 hours a week

And then there are some things that are ‘nice to have’:

• Experience with concurrent applications, because we do a lot of IO via asyncio!

• Having worked with distributed systems before

• DevOps mentality: we believe that software teams should be able to complete the software development cycle themselves, and enable them to bring their code to production themselves, and to do so every day.
