Hello there, 😎
we are HomeQ. Sweden's largest marketplace for first-hand residential rentals.
We are providing tenants and landlords with the means to come together and find their next home or tenant.
🏗️ -> 🏠 -> 🔑 -> 🤩
We are working with a modern front-end stack including functional TypeScript and an awesome backend stack mostly revolving around python/django, postgresql, elastic and aws.
We strive to be modern! This is not just a statement that we throw out there - we continuously address technical debt to keep our platform competitive for years to come. Of course, we try not to even incur the technical debt in the first place - however, that is not always possible.
We have small self-sufficient teams consisting of a backend engineer, frontend engineer, and UX designer who are working autonomously on a work item that we call a pitch. The pitch specifies the problem and outlines a solution but a lot of freedom is given to the build team when they implement, test, and ship the work item in the usual 6-week intervals.

So far so good? If you have any questions always feel free to reach out to us directly - but let me give you some more context:
We are currently looking for someone who has experience in Python, Django in the context of web development. As mentioned before we are using Django as our main workhorse. Knowledge of PostgreSQL, elastic, AWS, and other technologies in the web sphere is always a plus. A computer science or related degree is a big plus but not a requirement if you acquire the knowledge differently.
The main responsibility that comes as a part of a build team is also to make clean code and architectural decisions during the cycle. We therefore need to have people who have a good eye for the details and some foresight on how their decisions might affect the code-base down the road.
tl;dr; If you know some architectural principles that's great!
