Python Developer (Graphite Team)

Hi there!

We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers. New stars are born here, so don’t miss your chance.

And this is our Python Developer role for those who want to turn ideas into reality using code, algorithms, and maybe a bit of magic.

Tasks in the role

• Participate in refactoring/improvement of current functionality.
• Participate in developing new functionality, starting from implementation design to release to production.
• Participate in a code-review session.
• Continuous monitoring of already released features and reacting to alerts.
• Develop and improve infrastructure through DevOps practice.

Who we are looking for

We think that these types of experience and competencies will help our future colleague to join the team.

• Understanding of REST concepts and usage.
• Strong communication skills and willingness to take on responsibility.
• Experience with PostgreSQL or any other RDBMS, including writing SQL requests.
• Knowledge of Flask, FastAPI, asyncio, pytest.
• Knowledge of design principles and architectural patterns, especially event-driven.
• Strong expertise in Python, 3+ years of commercial development.

They say there are no perfect candidates, but that might well be you, if

• You share our common values: Trust, because we prefer to speak up and be our true selves; Sense of Ownership, because it’s not worth wasting time on something you don’t believe in; and enthusiasm for Constant Changes, because we are always looking to make things better.
• Experience with Kubernetes.
• You have some experience working with PHP or in the front end.
• Experience with Docker.
• Knowledge of Google Cloud Platform.

A Bit About The Team

Payment Solution is Semrush’s key product. No other product can receive payments without it. It’s a big responsibility, so it has high requirements in terms of reliability and quality.

We have more than five hundred professional internal users and over six million external users.

The Graphite Team is one of the three teams dealing with billing (Payment Solution). We focus on tasks related to Semrush products and also provide users with a convenient hub for managing their subscriptions and purchases. We also take part in designing strategic solutions for the billing platform, using our experience in infrastructure projects.

There are eight of us: One Product Owner, one Technical Owner, one Backend Developer, one Full Stack Developer, one Frontend Developer, two QA Engineers, and one DevOps Engineer. UX and UI designers work closely with all teams within the unit. Now, we are looking for a Backend Developer who likes to solve complex problems and is ready to make independent decisions.

Our stack:

• QA— Pytest and Playwright.
• Frontend—React, TypeScript, JS, CSS, etc.
• Backend—Python, Flask and FastAPI, MySQL & Postgres, SQLAlchemy.
• Infrastructure—Docker, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud Platform.

We will try to create all the right conditions for you to work and rest comfortably

• Unlimited PTO.
• Gifts for employees.
• Training, courses, conferences.
• Hobby benefit.
• Multi-sport card and compensation for hobby expense (Employee+Family).
• Corporate events.
• Breakfast, snacks, and coffee at the office.
• English and Czech courses.
• It’s up to you to decide what work format works best for you. You can #wfo, #wfh, or mix both.
• Psychologist consultations.
• Flexible working day start.

Finally, a Little More About Our Company

We’ve been developing our product for 14 years and have been awarded G2's Top 100 Software Products, Global and US Search Awards 2021, Great Place to Work Certification, Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and many more. In March 2021 Semrush went public and started trading on the NYSE with the SEMR ticker.

10,000,000+ users in America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have already tried Semrush, and over 1,000 people around the world are working on its development. The Semrush team is constantly growing.

Talent Acquisition Specialist

[email protected]

At Semrush, we take a serious and comprehensive approach to hiring new people. We welcome those who are professionals in their field and passionate about their work to join our team.

A “five-minute interview” or “get a job in three clicks” approach is not the way we work.

During the interview, we ask candidates to talk about themselves and their background in detail. We try to discover the most important aspects about the way someone works and their personality before a job offer is made.

Up to 3 days

Once the resume is received it will be reviewed by a member of the Talent Acquisition team. We try to provide feedback within three working days.

Flexible approach for an interview format

We’re flexible and open for both online interviews and personal meetings at the offices. Choose the option that’s most suitable for you!

In order for the online meetings to be productive, we suggest following these tips to make sure you are set up well:

• Choose a quiet place to talk. Attending an interview from the street is not a good idea.
• Keep your phone at hand in case there are technical issues that mean we have to continue the interview by direct call.
• Please turn on your camera. Visual communication is especially important for us.
• Join the interview from a laptop or desktop computer (not a smartphone). You may need to print something or present your screen during the interview.

Good luck!

Product & Development

The name Product & Development (P&D) is self-explanatory. More than 50 teams are involved in creation and development of Semrush products.

Fun fact: many P&D teams are associated with a specific color–maroon, navy, orange, khaki, etc. Some teams opt for really unusual colors, like “avocado” or “coffee.” Instead of mundanity, we strive to enjoy bright daily routines. The spirit of creativity is in Semrush’s DNA.

In every location, the team set-up looks similar: the Product Owner is responsible for the tool development strategy. Then there are Backend, Frontend, or Fullstack developers, and a QA Engineer.

However, there are frequent exceptions. For example, some teams may include a Data Scientist or a DevOps Engineer, other teams–a Scrum Master.

The P&D team has bases in all our European locations: Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, Cyprus, Serbia, and Armenia. Our P&D colleagues work in sprints and believe that releasing a new feature on Friday might not be the best idea.
