Dear List
Huq Industries has an opening for a senior python engineer
Company:
Huq provides real world, real time consumer insights at unprecedented scale. 
Huq has built a proprietary and unique technology that leverages mobile data to 
interpret what consumers do in the real world; where they shop and work, how 
they travel and when and where they rest. Huq is a well funded young company 
with a stellar client and partner list.
Us:
Huq comprises a compact team of highly capable individuals who are looking for 
committed engineers to work with as we move through the next phase of our 
growth and beyond. Our culture is one of working hard and with single minded 
purpose, not one that maintains a regime of long hours.  We strive for 
excellence and efficiency, development decisions are thoughtfully taken and 
resources efficiently used. We work hard to maintain our lightweight and nimble 
approach that enables us to solve large and complex tasks with minimal 
overhead. Our working environment is focused, friendly and supportive.
You:
The team is very ambitious and so should you be. You will be not only be 
extremely competent across the range of technologies used in the current stack, 
but also quick and hungry to learn new things, both technical and conceptual. 
You will love writing fully tested code that is highly efficient, maintainable 
and predictable. You will enjoy thinking laterally and finding creative 
solutions to problems. Your voice will be instrumental in the development 
decisions made within the team, so you should be ready to bring a wide range of 
knowledge about available tools and new technologies. You must be able to get 
on well with others and operate effectively within a small team. An in-depth 
knowledge of database architecture and query optimisation is essential. You 
will have a passion for writing bug-free code that deploys seamlessly in a 
continuous integration environment. You will ideally have 5+ years of 
commercial experience.
Role:
The back end platform consists primarily of two Django applications backed by a 
Postgres database. In the coming months we will be adding a new API and 
maximising the efficiency and the effectiveness of the current codebase. Huq is 
a process of rapid scale and we anticipate to soon be processing billions of 
data points per month; as such you should have experience of and be comfortable 
dealing with extremely large database solutions and migration between data 
structures. Experience of working with distributed databases would be highly 
desirable.
Location:
We are located in Central London. You will be required to be onsite for the 
majority of the time.
Salary:
Market rate, dependent upon experience. Share options and training budget 
available.
Recruitment Process:
Please include link to CV as well as with links to github or SO, if available 
together with your application. Interviews will be in person and will comprise 
a technical test, technical interview and informal discussion with the senior 
team.
