Senior Django Developer - Team Lead

We're a site for university graduates to find graduate positions.

GradConnection is expanding fast as a ambitious, profitable and easy-going company. In Australia, over 70% of graduates employed in graduate positions found their graduate position from gradconnection.com.au.

We're also busy expanding to South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong.

At the same time we've been learning more about our clients, constantly performing customer development work and are currently developing two new products that are independent of our GradConnection website.

We use Django, Django REST framework, AngularJS/React, Socket.IO, Gerrit/Jenkins, Gulp/Grunt, Postgres.

We value work-life balance and very strongly discourage working outside normal working hours more than a couple of days a month.

-- What you'll be doing with us --

Our company's goal is to connect graduates with work opportunities with different employers on a global basis. This is something that no other company in the world is currently doing in the online campus recruitment space.

We have been re-structuring our software development processes over the past year, moving from the ad-hoc processes that helped this company achieve market dominance in Australia.

As a senior software engineer, you'll be responsible for contributing to the development of our upcoming projects such as the next generation of HR and recruitment products as well as improvements on our existing flagship website.

You'll be working with a company with a presence in South Africa, Asia, and Australia.

-- What we expect from you --

- Excellent coding skills and a track record of getting stuff done. - Several years of full-stack web development, frontend, backend, database. - Previous experience in leading and mentoring less experienced developers. - Have strong opinions on projects you are developing. - Eager to influence the software development process as well as product design and UX experience.

You will be a core pillar in our software development team, and you will be required to lead as we expand our South African office. You will advance our in-house software engineering processes and expertise.

-- How to apply --

Email your resume as well as URL to your personal website, github repository and/or other projects you may have done before to eric@gradconnection.com.
