O'Reilly Media is looking for a Senior Software Engineer well-versed in Python and Django to join one of our product teams, and contribute to the development and maintenance of key features within our learning platform.
At O'Reilly, our engineers focus on building a diverse set of features designed in collaboration with product managers, UX, and other teammates. Senior Engineers work with product managers to architect our learning platform experiences, exchange code reviews with other team members, provide mentorship to junior engineers, and assist QA and Ops in troubleshooting product issues.
