Working at Wiredrive, has its perks. The kegerator with seasonal beers, a fully stocked kitchen with snacks and staples for meals, BBQ lunches on the patio, generous benefits, and a killer location in Marina del Rey. But the real reason to want to work at Wiredrive, is the people. We play as hard as we work and we play to win. Privately held and profitable, Wiredrive is growing fast.
About the Role Wiredrive is seeking a Lead Django Software Engineer to join our software engineering team in our Marina del Rey office. Our client base is made up of the top global advertising agencies, television/movie production companies, post‑production houses and brands. Our challenge? Lead the development team and continue to evolve our platform with new features that will advance the sharing, presentation and management of our clients’ assets.
About the Team We believe that the work we do is part of a larger experience defined by the thousands of inspired creatives who create and present their work every day. We believe that smart, motivated and dedicated teams can do great things and we look to get out of the way so this can happen. We also believe in using cutting‑edge toolsets so the work we create today, won’t die on the vine tomorrow. Our current systems run Django, MySQL, Ember.js, the Atlassian suite and more.
About the Job You’ll be helping us build new features and experiences for some of the top creatives in the world. We’re looking for a Lead Django engineer who will be directly involved with application development, architecture, security, large‑scale system design, ORM development, page load optimisation, media playback, caching, scalability and more. The team (front/back end, UX, QA and product manager) works in an Agile environment, so collaboration is key.
About You You’re an engineer who can lead a team of other engineers and who can turn concepts into fast and reliable code that others (including yourself) will find easy to comprehend and modify in the future.
You will be successful in this role if you can:
Help build the core application
Guide a team of engineers to help maximise their production
Review code and provide feedback where applicable
Optimize data layer for specific needs of the application
Build and scale caching strategies
Plan, prototype and implement new applications and features
Contribute architecture input to new systems as well as legacy systems
Review, test and improve existing web application design
Integrate with third‑party web service APIs
Contribute domain‑specific expertise by reviewing code, reviewing design docs, giving technical talks, and mentoring junior members of the team
Define application requirements and features
Architect for caching at various layers of the stack
Help others around you grow as developers to be successful
Take pleasure in building things
What we’d like to see:
5+ year Python development
Experience leading a team of engineers
Experience building large‑scale distributed web applications
In‑depth knowledge of OOP principles and enterprise design patterns (MVC)
Experience writing and maintaining unit tests (TDD)
Experience working with quick software deliverable schedules
Ability to analyse and understand the needs of clients
Knowledge of Agile / Scrum
Self‑starter with excellent communication skills
Wiredrive offers health insurance (100% premium coverage), 401k program with company match, paid vacations/holidays, a monthly gas allowance, employee referral bonus, a keg‑orator (free beer, yay!), and a fully stocked kitchen.
