You will be:

• working as a Senior Python Engineer in a cross-functional team, with a strong focus on backend development in Python and a modern cloud-native ecosystem (Azure, Kubernetes, Docker),

• owning code reviews for Python components delivered by other teams, ensuring high standards of quality, readability, security, and performance,

• investigating production incidents by analysing logs and metrics, reproducing issues, identifying root causes, and recommending and implementing fixes,​

• designing and developing new backend features in Python, integrating with cloud services and container-orchestrated workloads running on Kubernetes,​

• profiling and optimising existing services for performance, including database access, caching strategy, and critical execution paths.​

• collaborating closely with other engineering teams (not only Python-focused) to define interfaces, integration patterns, and engineering best practices across the platform,

• contributing to CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and observability (monitoring, alerting, logging) for Python services in the cloud environment,

• gradually contributing to services built with Node.js and TypeScript, and expanding your skills in this ecosystem as part of day-to-day project work.​

Your profile:

• 6+ years of commercial experience with Python, including hands-on work on complex, production-grade systems rather than only language syntax knowledge.,

• practical experience with cloud environments (preferably Azure) and containerised workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, including deployment, configuration, and monitoring of services,

• proven ability to diagnose production issues and propose pragmatic solutions, from quick fixes to longer-term architectural improvements,

• strong familiarity with Linux, Git, CI/CD, automated testing, and code quality practices (linting, code reviews, coding standards​),

• knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript/JavaScript at least at a junior/mid level, or strong motivation to develop these skills in a real production project,

• excellent verbal and written communication skills in English (minimum B2), enabling effective work in an international environment and clear explanation of complex technical topics,
