Job description

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

• Design & Develop

• Build and maintain high‑performance Python services and web applications (Flask, FastAPI, Django).

• Implement and document modern API architectures (RESTful, gRPC, GraphQL).

• Write clean, well‑tested code with type hints, linting, and solid CI coverage.

• Kubernetes Automation

• Automate deployments using Helm charts or raw manifests.

• Manage cluster lifecycle: upgrades, autoscaling, resource quotas, RBAC.

• Containers & DevOps

• Containerize apps with multi‑stage Docker builds and enforce image security scanning.

• Develop and refine CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins and ArgoCD) for GitOps‑style delivery.

• Automate rollback strategies and health‑check monitoring—no manual interventions.

• Data & Messaging

• Design and maintain relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (Redis, MongoDB) schemas.

• Integrate and operate event buses (Kafka, RabbitMQ) for async processing and microservices.

• Optimize data access patterns and enforce consistency—know when to use transactions vs. eventual consistency.

• Collaboration & Standards

• Lead design reviews; challenge assumptions with facts, not opinions.

• Mentor peers on best practices: Twelve‑Factor App, SOLID principles, CI/CD hygiene.

• Drive documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, post‑mortems.

• 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)
