* Knowledge of a range of infrastructure components (databases, queuing systems, caches, etc)
* Fluent in a high-level programming language like Python or Ruby
* Able to learn new things extremely quickly and effectively teach others what you’ve learned
* Takes ownership and can work cross functionally with other engineers, product and design to drive product forward

Our Stack
The API side of Discz is written in Python/Django and hosted on AWS. Auxiliary
technologies include PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, Elasticsearch, AWS CDK, and
GraphQL.
Experience with the above technologies would be nice, but is by no means
required. We’re much more interested in your passion for music and our
product, and the resulting intrinsic motivation to learn and build quickly.
We’d also love your input on any new modern technologies you believe would
help us build a better product!
