Python Backend Engineer

Procedure is hiring for Drover.

This is not a DevOps/SRE/cloud-migration role — this is a hands-on backend engineering and architecture role where you build the platform powering our hardware at scale.

About Drover

Ranching is getting harder. Increased labor costs and a volatile climate are placing mounting pressure to provide for a growing population. Drover is empowering ranchers to efficiently and sustainably feed the world by making it cheaper and easier to manage livestock, unlock productivity gains, and reduce carbon footprint with rotational grazing. Not only is this a $46B opportunity, you'll be working on a climate solution with the potential for real, meaningful impact.

We use patent-pending low-voltage electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to steer and contain cows, replacing the need for physical fences or electric shock. We are building something that has never been done before, and we have hundreds of ranches on our waitlist.

Drover is founded by Callum Taylor (ex-Harvard), who comes from 5 generations of ranching, and Samuel Aubin, both of whom grew up in Australian ranching towns and have an intricate understanding of the problem space. We are well-funded and supported by Workshop Ventures, a VC firm with experience in building unicorn IoT companies.

We're looking to assemble a team of exceptional talent with a high eagerness to dive headfirst into understanding the challenges and opportunities within ranching.

About The Role

As our founding cloud engineer, you will be responsible for building and scaling the infrastructure that powers our IoT platform, connecting thousands of devices across ranches nationwide.

Because we are an early-stage startup, you will have high levels of ownership in what you build. You will play a pivotal part in architecting our cloud infrastructure, building robust APIs, and ensuring our systems can scale reliably.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience developing cloud architecture on AWS
• In-depth understanding of various AWS services, especially those related to IoT
• Expertise in cloud-hosted, event-driven, serverless architectures
• Expertise in programming languages suitable for AWS micro-services (eg: TypeScript, Python)
• Experience with networking and socket programming
• Experience with Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK)
• Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL)
• Familiarity with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

🙋 What are we looking for? 

While we do not have a strict list of requirements for candidates interested in this role, some indicators that you would fit this role and our engineering culture are 

• Prior experience of a few years (3+ years) with python based frameworks as Django or Flask would be essential to work on our application stack.

• You actively promote a culture of engineering excellence some of which could be writing efficient code, use of elegant design patterns, and styling your code through code-linting policies.

• You enjoy designing software architecture by collaborating with engineering managers, architects, and other lead engineers to explore existing systems, determining areas of complexity, potential risks to successful implementation.

• You enjoy coaching folks to achieve outcomes through nudges.

📢 Other information you may want to consider 

• We will be flexible for the rest of the pandemic and work remotely; however, we are not a remote-first company, and the work location would be Bangalore when things settle.
