- We have a commitment to transparency and offer a "no surprises experience" throughout the interview and hiring process. We value candor...as evidenced by the length of our job description. :)
- Our CEO prefers the title CED, Chief Executive Developer. Engineering and operational concerns don't take a back seat when potential sales come to the front door.
- You will be working remote with a team that is all working remote and has been for years. Let's make the best use of our time by not commuting.
- We practice and preach sound development practices. You are likely to learn and grow as a developer while working here.
- You are committed to automated testing of all the software you write (our apps typically have 92%+ test coverage).
- We have a no-drama office policy. We value and cultivate enjoyable working relationships among team members. No jerks allowed!
- We emphasize work/life balance and adopt policies that make sure our people don't get burnt out. For instance, our PTO/Vacation policies are designed so that you actually use them.
- If you apply, we guarantee that we will give you a response, whether "yay" or "nay". No black holes here!

I'm a senior level dev looking at the senior role, but it says 2-3 years of python experience at minimum. I don't have that, so I thought I'd look at the mid-level role which says "3-6 years developing database-driven web applications with (preferably) Python" but then "candidates without Python experience may still be considered if they have experience with similar tech."
How True is this? Have you hired anyone before with experience but that didn't have a lot of python experience? I've mostly worked in node, but I've done a little with python and could start some django courses this weekend if you're actually giving people shots here.
It's a good question and I should update those sections to make Python a harder requirement.
We've tried to be flexible historically but found that we really need folks who are fluent in Python because our skills tests all use Python and we need devs to hit the ground running on day 1 and all our projects are in Python.
I did recently hire a dev whose Python is a bit rusty but who made it through the skills tests. But, for the most part, devs without solid and recent Python experience aren't getting through our skills tests.
