Description Position at Choreograph WHO WE ARE Choreograph is WPP's global data products and technology company. We're on a mission to transform marketing by building the fastest, most connected data platform that bridges marketing strategy to scaled activation. We work with agencies and clients to transform the value of data by bringing together technology, data and analytics capabilities. We deliver this through the Open Media Studio, an AI-enabled media and data platform for the next era of advertising. We're endlessly curious. Our team of thinkers, builders, creators and problem solvers are over 1,000 strong, across 20 markets around the world. WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR Choreograph is looking for an experienced developer to join the team responsible for development of the ecosystem of (primarily) Python microservices. You will be leading a cross-functional team and cooperating with other teams developing services contributing to several products. Your understanding of the underlying principles of microservices architectures means you will be comfortable operating autonomously, solving problems described in high level functional terms rather than prescriptive implementational detail. You are conscious of the risks to the integrity of API contracts that arise when API implementers and API users breach separation of concerns by collaborating too closely. You will be responsible for a team of senior developers. You will lead them in definition of processes they follow.
