This role offers a hybrid model in Athens or fully remote options from Switzerland, with occasional travel for team meetings.

Qualifikationen

• 3+ years (mid) / 5+ years (senior) of professional software development experience with Python as your primary language.
• Strong experience building RESTful APIs with frameworks such as Django.
• Solid understanding of relational databases (ideally PostgreSQL) and ORMs (e.g., SQLAlchemy).

• Experience with asynchronous programming, background task processing (e.g., Celery, asyncio), and message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka, Redis).
• Proficiency with Git and modern development workflows (branching, pull requests, CI/CD).
• Strong grasp of software engineering fundamentals: testing (pytest), clean architecture, design patterns, and secure coding practices.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken).

Aufgaben

• Design, develop, test, and maintain backend services and APIs in Python.
• Build and optimize data ingestion, normalization, and correlation pipelines for security data (e.g., CVE/CPE feeds, scan results, telemetry).
• Integrate third-party security tools and external data sources into the platform via REST APIs, message queues, and connectors.
• Contribute to the architecture and technical design of new features, from proof-of-concept to production.
• Write clean, well-documented, and well-tested code, and participate in code reviews.
• Work with relational databases (PostgreSQL) — schema design, query optimization, and data modeling.
• Containerize and deploy services using Docker; contribute to CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (security analysts, frontend engineers, DevOps, research) in an agile environment.
• Mentor junior developers and help raise the engineering bar across the team (senior level).
