Lyst is looking for a Software Engineer as part of the Product Data team who can help us build upon and improve our product data pipeline that is responsible for ingesting thousands of items per second to our catalog of millions of products. You will work within an inclusive development team to help build upon existing systems and contribute to the on-going performance improvements of the whole product data pipeline. The team will have a strong focus on improving the systems involved to onboard new retailers to Lyst. This will in turn improve the customer experience by diversifying our catalogue and allowing customers to see new retailers and trends on Lyst even quicker! Our onboarding with Product Data is focussed on helping you succeed by building relationships first. Within the first three months, you will:

• Meet and build relationships with your team members and relevant stakeholders
• Contribute to every part of our system, tests, documentation, as well as code and process
• Participate in Code Review on feature changes and confidently make changes (i.e with tests!) to our systems
• Participate in our Planning and Retrospective meetings where you will have direct input to the team's ways of working
• Gain expertise over the tools and services we use: Python, Docker, CircleCI, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, etc.
• This is a high trust, supportive and collaborative environment where you will have plenty of opportunities to really help make an impact on both your team and wider company. We value attitude as much as we do direct experience-we want to hire people to grow into the role and beyond.
About the team:
• We work in Python3.
• We use Docker and K8s for managing our services in production
• We use CircleCI and Github Actions for continuous integration and all of our services are continuously deployed too, meaning that your changes reach production very soon after being merged, which is exciting!
• The Product Data team is one of the key teams within the Product Development tribe, and the data we are in charge of is critical for the business. We work closely with other teams across tribes, and almost all of Lyst engineering uses our services.
• We maintain around ten or so services with a team of 4 engineers and our product manager
• We care about collecting metrics to measure our impact to ensure we're focusing on the right things and track our progress towards our quarterly goals.
  
  Experience with building and maintaining python microservices
• Ready to contribute to an inclusive and positive working environment for everyone
• Able to communicate clearly and be humble when sharing ideas with everyone on the team
• Capable of writing production quality code and doing iterative development, balancing speed to ship and long term maintainability
• Experience with the creation and maintenance of ETL pipelines is a plus
• Have a detail oriented mindset and actively demonstrate curiosity
We believe in having a curious mindset and your ability to learn to do the job is more important than a checklist of must haves.
