NOW HIRING: Open Source Developer & DevOps

Company: OpenCraft
Website: https://opencraft.com
Headquarters: Berlin, Germany

Development specialized on the free software project Open edX, used by and in part developed by organizations like MIT, Harvard, McKinsey, and others, so you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to projects that are widely used and to be part of a thriving open source educational community. See edx.org, stanford.edu or fun-mooc.fr for examples of Open edX instances.

The Open edX platform is a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture. You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, MIT, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are very varied, from developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working fullstack, operating our service infrastructure, improving our hosting platform, etc. You won't get bored here.

Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing most of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

We welcome applicants of all genders and ethnicities.

Basic requirements

• 3+ years working with Python
• Experience with Python web frameworks, specifically Django
• 3+ years of HTML, Javascript, and CSS (experience with React is a big plus!)
• Experience with unit testing
• You feel comfortable working in a Linux environment, specifically Debian or Ubuntu
• Experience with databases: MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL
• Experience with contributing to free software projects, and communicating within a free software community

Additional skills

You would have to work with tasks from the following categories, but you would be able to pick up the skills on the job if you don't master this yet:

• DevOps experience, especially on Debian/Ubuntu servers, Terraform, Vault, Packer, Prometheus, ELK, Docker. We are building a modern infrastructure and having a strong DevOps presence on top of core software engineering skills is a big plus with us.
• Cloud computing, like AWS or OpenStack
• Configuration management tools such as Ansible
• RabbitMQ, Redis & Elasticsearch
• git source control
• Mobile development (iOS and/or Android)
• Managing clients & projects from beginning to completion (senior developer)
• Public speaking at conferences (you would present a talk every year at the Open edX Con)

About OpenCraft

We are a team of twenty developers, all working remotely from Europe, North & South America, Asia & Australia. You would arrive at a critical moment, as we scale up to handle increasing demand from clients on the edX platform. The company is not affiliated with edX, but contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, were you would be able to work remotely from anywhere you want, as long as you have a good internet connexion. : )

• An academic qualification in business administration, finance, or accounting
• Experience in finance, specifically FP&A
• A sound knowledge of accounting fundamentals
• Advanced proficiency in Excel.

Bonus points if you have:

• Auditing experience
• Excellent financial modelling skills, even better if you can code
• Compliance awareness and experience
• Experience using modelling and accounting software
• German language skills.

Compensation:

The anticipated salary range for this role is $70,000 - $90,000 USD (paid in local currency, or crypto, and dependent on experience & location), plus a grant of Status Network Tokens vesting over a three-year period. More info on SNT here here: https://status.im/snt-utility/.

Hiring process:

The hiring process for this role will be:

• Interview with a member of our People Ops team
• Interview with Daniel, our Head of Finance
• Interview with Carl, one of our founders
• A small, paid, work challenge so that we can get a feel for your work and how we’d collaborate (the task should take no more than 6 hours) - if you have relevant work samples you’d prefer to send us, that works too.
• The steps may change along the way if we see it makes sense to adapt the interview stages, so please consider the above as a guideline. We’re looking for the new finance hire (you?) to join the team as soon as possible, and we’re hoping to close the hiring process ideally by the end of June 2020.
