Python Engineer

From the qualification call with the Hiring Manager:

Candidates so far have mostly been stronger with data pipeline development & scripting with Python rather than true core Python Software engineering. We don't need nor want Data Pipeline focused resources; we want true Python programming skills. Experian is building an orchestration engine that helps build real-time offers for customers on loans and other financial offerings. They don't need any database interaction for this team, so the entirety of the position is middle-tier, application layer processing.

There is no batch processing required for this position.

The manager understands that a lot of Python Developers do data pipeline work as part of their job, as he used to do it too. But he wants candidates to be more focused on core software engineering concepts like multithreading, asynchronous programming, IO, etc. Any resumes where the first few bullet points are related to data pipeline development or ETL will likely not work.

THERE WILL BE AN ONSITE INTERVIEW, and the Manager will ask the candidates to explain multithreading and asynchronous programming as part of the screening. Qualified candidates will need to have some focus only middle-tier development.

Experian is seeking solid core programmers, with true hands-on development experience, working on applications with Python, not data. We need to find candidates who are more involved with app programming than data and can shift their approach to explain their application focused experience during the interview.
