The Opportunity

OBMedia is a small, fast-growing online advertising company. While we enjoy a busy, tight-knit tech start-up culture, we also happen to be backed by a parent company, which is publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange, which adds stability to the usual start-up formula. Each day, we work with large, bureaucratic corporate partners, as well as dozens of small/medium businesses who act as our publishers.

We are seeking a Backend Python Developer to build marketing tech with us and join the dynamic Audience Development team at OBMedia - a highly specialized group of professionals from around the world who work closely with our Marketing and Media Buy teams to drive growth through cutting-edge software products. As a valued contributor in this collaborative team environment, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact and help shape the future of our company.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing and implementing server-side web application logic using Python, as well as integrating front-end elements into the application. The successful candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the backend systems are scalable, secure, and meet the functional requirements.

**Note, position is remote. We have occasional company meetings in cities across the United States.

Summary of Duties:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable and high-performance server-side applications using Python
• Integrate front-end elements into the application, including but not limited to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the backend systems meet functional requirements
• Troubleshoot and debug issues with the backend systems and ensure their smooth operation
• Develop and maintain unit and integration tests to ensure code quality and maintainability
• Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices
