Are you passionate about building robust, scalable software that makes a real impact?
Do you enjoy solving complex problems using Python and modern engineering practices?
My client is seeking a Senior Python Engineer to join their growing technology team. This role offers the opportunity to design and deliver high-quality backend systems, work on complex data-driven projects, and collaborate closely with talented engineers across multiple disciplines.
What you'll be doing
Designing and developing clean, efficient, and maintainable backend systems using Python.
Working across the full development lifecycle – from requirements gathering and architecture through to deployment and monitoring.
Building APIs, integrations, and data pipelines that are secure, scalable, and highly performant.
Collaborating with DevOps engineers on containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
Participating in code reviews and driving best practices in software quality and testing.
Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to the continuous improvement of engineering processes.
What we're looking for
5+ years' commercial experience developing software in Python.
Strong understanding of object-oriented programming and design patterns.
Experience working with modern frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask.
Solid knowledge of SQL and experience with databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerisation tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
Proven experience working with APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and agile delivery practices.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.
Desirable (not essential)
Experience with data processing, ETL pipelines, or distributed systems.
Familiarity with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS).
Experience in a fast-paced or product-based environment.
What's on offer
The chance to work on high-impact, large-scale systems with modern technologies.
A supportive engineering culture that values clean code and innovation.
Hybrid or fully remote working options.
Competitive salary and benefits package, commensurate with experience.
If you have any further questions on the role, please feel free to reach out to Brendan McCrory directly.
