Python Developers (Django)
We’re Xelix, an AI-powered Control Centre for Accounts Payable teams. We work with some of the largest global companies to automate and enhance their financial control processes. At the heart of our product, we leverage machine learning techniques developed by our data science team to provide a more sophisticated offering than existing solutions.
Things are going really well for us - we raised our Series A funding round from top investors, we’ve grown our team to over 60, and we’ve won industry awards for our products.
About the role
We’re looking for smart Python developers to join our back-end development team. We are recruiting at various levels from Computer Science graduates to those with several years coding experience.

Implementing robust and scalable solutions in Python.
Developing, using and designing REST APIs to efficiently deliver application components.
Implementing performance improvement strategies.
Ensuring the quality of code by writing comprehensive tests and participating in code reviews.
