Senior Python Engineer

Hi, we're Datashake 👋 Our mission is to empower businesses to unlock insights from the data around them, whether it's from their own online presence, social media, or external sources. We enable users to derive actionable insights using AI-driven tools, creating workflows that redefine what's possible.

We're an established business with thousands of paying customers and a team of 20+ and are searching for a full-time Senior Python Engineer to help us build out our services. We're fully remote, with team members across the world. We generally work CET hours but are flexible as long as there's some overlap.

You're a proactive, sharp, and self-motivated individual who is eager to learn and take ownership of our products. You love communicating and working with others in your team toward success, taking us from where we are now to where we want to be!
