Are you motivated to develop robust and scalable open-source software that drives secure and decentralized communication? If so, the role as a __Python Developer for Matrix Synapse Homeserver (AGPLv3 Open-Source)__ at Famedly could be the perfect fit for you!

Since the foundation in 2019, Famedly has been committed to digitizing medical communication processes in compliance with data protection regulations and thus revolutionizing the healthcare system. Famedly has launched the first gematik-certified TI messenger to improve communication and collaboration within the healthcare sector. Famedly enables medical teams to share sensitive patient information, images and other files in real time and from any location - from medication schedules and lab results to X-rays.

* Collaborate with other developers and the wider Matrix community to prioritize and implement security-focused features.
* Contribute to code reviews, testing, and documentation to ensure high standards of code quality and security.
* Participate in discussions and planning for the future development and security enhancements of Synapse.

## Requirements:

* Experience in Python development, particularly in large-scale distributed systems.
* Strong understanding of security best practices in software development.
* Good understanding of networking, databases, and web technologies.
* Experience with RESTful APIs and asynchronous programming.
* Comfortable working in a remote, collaborative, open-source environment.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
* Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

## Nice to have:

* Familiarity with the Matrix protocol and the Synapse homeserver.
* Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or other containerization technologies.
* Familiarity with Postgres, Redis, and other components of the Synapse stack.
* Contributions to open-source projects, especially within the Matrix ecosystem.
* Understanding of performance profiling and optimization techniques.
* Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.

* __Work in a rising and ambitious startup, that is in an exciting start-up phase -__ We have grown very quickly since 2019 and we still have big plans! Famedly has launched the first gematik-certified TI messenger and we are developing it further with your help!
