On the front end, we use React and TypeScript with DRF, and test using Playwright. We use a shared component library across Mintel, and our apps are part of a micro-frontend architecture.

This individual will ideally have 3+ years of professional experience working in Python, and be very comfortable with CI/CD platforms such as Gitlab CI.  

This is a Hybrid position based in Chicago.

  • Working with an agile team that makes frequent releases.
  • We embrace DevOps culture on the team, so you’ll be responsible for helping the team deploy, monitor, and maintain the system.
  • Develop features or solve technical problems as an individual contributor or pairing within the team. Collaborating with Engineers and Architects from other teams is also important from time to time.
  • Make your voice heard when we’re discussing implementation trade-offs within the team or technical solution possibilities with our stakeholders.

Who We Are Looking For:                             

  • A developer who is confident as a member of a development team.  Our team develops cloud services in Python and deploys them on AWS.
  • A strong leader who finds opportunities to mentor and train junior team members, pushing projects forward and leading by example with work ethic and focus.
  • A self-directed, fast learner who can quickly pick up domain knowledge and effectively up-skill on technology topics where required.
