Location: Remote
Term: Contract

As a Senior Python Developer, you’ll own the backend stack: architecting APIs, automating Kubernetes deployments, and ensuring data flows reliably through databases and event buses. No sugar‑coating—real responsibility, real impact.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design & Develop
2. Build and maintain high‑performance Python services and web applications (Flask, FastAPI, Django).
3. Implement and document modern API architectures (RESTful, gRPC, GraphQL).
4. Write clean, well‑tested code with type hints, linting, and solid CI coverage.
5. Kubernetes Automation
6. Automate deployments using Helm charts or raw manifests.
7. Manage cluster lifecycle: upgrades, autoscaling, resource quotas, RBAC.
8. Containers & DevOps
9. Containerize apps with multi‑stage Docker builds and enforce image security scanning.
10. Develop and refine CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins and ArgoCD) for GitOps‑style delivery.
11. Automate rollback strategies and health‑check monitoring—no manual interventions.
12. Data & Messaging
13. Design and maintain relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (Redis, MongoDB) schemas.
14. Integrate and operate event buses (Kafka, RabbitMQ) for async processing and microservices.
15. Optimize data access patterns and enforce consistency—know when to use transactions vs. eventual consistency.
16. Collaboration & Standards
17. Lead design reviews; challenge assumptions with facts, not opinions.
18. Mentor peers on best practices: Twelve‑Factor App, SOLID principles, CI/CD hygiene.
19. Drive documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, post‑mortems.

Minimum Requirements:

• 5+ years of expertise in Python
• Strong experience with OOP
• Expert in Docker: image optimization, security scanning, and registry management
• Hands‑on with REST, GraphQL, or gRPC
• Understanding of API gateway patterns and service mesh fundamentals
• Solid background with SQL and NoSQL databases
• Experience designing event‑driven systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar
• Built declarative pipelines in Jenkins (Groovy or Declarative) and ArgoCD
• Git fluency: advanced branching, rebasing, conflict resolution

Optional Requirements:

• Skilled in YAML, secret management, and automated testing pipelines
• Strong debugging mindset—root‑cause analysis is non‑negotiable
• Deep mastery of asynchronous patterns (asyncio, Celery)
