Python has beat out Java and C++ to be one of the most popular programming languages since its creation in 1991. Its simple syntax makes it easy for new developers to learn, read, and debug compared to the steep learning curve of other languages. The Canadian tech companies below are looking to hire developers experienced in Python right now. Check out all the organizations recruiting across the country at Jobs.BetaKit for more opportunities.

Calgary-based Neo Financial has been one of Canada’s most active FinTech startups. With its recent bet on embedded finance, the company has been building up a diverse suite of partnership credit cards with partners such as Intuit and Tim Hortons.
Those with more than five years of experience programming with Python should apply to be Neo’s senior data engineering developer. The hired candidate would be making improvements to Neo’s data platform to optimize efficiency and help scale for higher data volumes and bigger projects.
In a similar vein, Neo is also hiring a senior data analytics developer with five or more years of experience programming in Python. This developer will be working with product teams to define and capture data modelling requirements to then develop test cases.
