As a Backend Developer in the Core Engineering team, your role is to further the development of the Core Platform to meet the needs of our users and the wider business.
You will draw on your skills and experience to both extract and modernise the Core Platform for use by other Technicolor companies, and to maintain ongoing use by MPC. You will focus on developing services and APIs that encapsulate the business logic of the platform, in areas such as compute, storage, digital asset management and digital resource management. You will be building internally facing interfaces to our platform and production data.
The Core Platform has a broad scope and diverse user group. While there is some expectation of the role to work across multiple aspects of the platform (building features, fixing bugs, general enhancements), some developers do specialise and focus on specific subject areas. This may happen immediately, or after some time having gained familiarity with many areas of the platform.
Qualifications
While previous experience in the VFX industry is not required to be successful in this role, there are some other skills and experience that we look for in a candidate.
- Production-level experience using Python for desktop applications, service backends or development infrastructure.
- SQL and general database knowledge for query writing and optimisation.
- A working understanding of HTTP and JSON.
- Familiarity with source control, in particular Git, and associated best practices.
- Comfortable working in a primarily Linux based development and runtime environment.
- A solid knowledge of testing principles, in particular TDD and/or BDD.
- Proven problem-solving skills around technical, product and business requests.
- Be able to consider a technical solution from different perspectives, including algorithms, complexity, correctness, maintainability.
If you’re not sure if you have the right experience, or perhaps have a talent that we haven’t listed and you think may still be important to us, please don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
Nice to have:
- Experience of Agile and lean methodologies, and an interest in process improvement in these areas.
- Able to present technical concepts to a broad audience with varying level of technical understanding.
- An awareness of security and keeping content secure
