Descripción de la vacante

Manychat, Inc. is hiring a Senior Python Engineer to build and evolve a Python-based platform layer that extends and scales Manychat’s eng core, acting as a bridge and execution environment for high-load, business-critical workflows.

Your main focus is designing systems that decouple complexity from the core, enable scalable execution of business logic, and provide reliable cross-service communication, while maintaining production readiness and observability.

Formación

• 5+ years of commercial Python development in production environments.
• Strong expertise in modern Python frameworks (FastAPI preferred; Django/Flask acceptable).
• Solid experience designing and integrating APIs (including third-party services).
• Strong understanding of async programming and concurrency (AsyncIO, non-blocking I/O).
• Experience working with PostgreSQL and large datasets.
• Experience building and maintaining high-load backend systems.
• Strong testing practices (unit and integration tests; PyTest preferred).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Docker.
• Strong ownership and product mindset — able to align with stakeholders and connect engineering work to business impact.

Responsabilidades

• Design and build a Python-based platform layer that integrates with the core system.
• Define and evolve patterns for service communication, orchestration, and responsibility split between core and Python services.
• Develop scalable, async services handling high-load and latency-sensitive workflows.
• Own API contracts between systems, ensuring stability, backward compatibility, and clear boundaries.
• Identify and extract functionality from the core into scalable services where it improves performance or maintainability.
• Ensure reliability of cross-system interactions through observability (monitoring, logging, tracing).
• Design for failure: retries, idempotency, consistency guarantees.
• Drive engineering quality: testing strategy, CI/CD, safe rollout practices.
• Work closely with Platform and Product teams to align architecture with business needs.
• Contribute to long-term platform scalability, not just feature delivery.

Descripción del empleo

WHO WE ARE

Manychat is a leading chat marketing platform, helping businesses engage with their customers on Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram. Trusted by over 1 million brands in 170+ countries, we're an official Meta Business Partner, backed by Bessemer Venture Partners. With 400+ teammates across offices in Austin, Barcelona, Yerevan, São Paulo, and Amsterdam — we're building the infrastructure of conversational commerce.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We’re hiring a Senior Python Engineer to build and evolve a Python-based platform layer that extends and scales Manychat’s eng core.

This is not a standalone backend. This layer acts as a bridge and execution environment for high-load, business-critical workflows that cannot be efficiently handled inside the core system.

Your primary focus will be designing systems that:

• decouple and offload complexity from the core platform
• enable scalable execution of business logic
• provide reliable communication between services

This role is ideal for someone who:

• thinks in systems, not services
• understands trade-offs of distributed architectures
• can turn loosely defined problems into stable production solutions
• is comfortable working close to platform boundaries and constraints

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design and build a Python-based platform layer that integrates with the core system.
• Define and evolve patterns for service communication, orchestration, and responsibility split between core and Python services.
• Develop scalable, async services handling high-load and latency-sensitive workflows.
• Own API contracts between systems, ensuring stability, backward compatibility, and clear boundaries.
• Identify and extract functionality from the core into scalable services where it improves performance or maintainability.
• Ensure reliability of cross-system interactions through observability (monitoring, logging, tracing).
• Design for failure: retries, idempotency, consistency guarantees.
• Drive engineering quality: testing strategy, CI/CD, safe rollout practices.
• Work closely with Platform and Product teams to align architecture with business needs.
• Contribute to long-term platform scalability, not just feature delivery.

TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE

You’ll need:

• 5+ years of commercial Python development in production environments.
• Strong expertise in modern Python frameworks (FastAPI preferred; Django/Flask acceptable).
• Solid experience designing and integrating APIs (including third-party services).
• Strong understanding of async programming and concurrency (AsyncIO, non-blocking I/O).
• Experience working with PostgreSQL and large datasets.
• Experience building and maintaining high-load backend systems.
• Strong testing practices (unit and integration tests; PyTest preferred).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Docker.
• Strong ownership and product mindset — able to align with stakeholders and connect engineering work to business impact.

It would be great if you have:

• Experience working with loaded projects and queue systems.
• Skills working with infrastructure.
• Experience working with third-party API.
• Knowledge of different NoSQL solutions and analytical systems.
• Replication, partioning, sharding, PL/pgSQL, and other attributes of profound work with databases.

WHAT WE OFFER

We care deeply about your growth, well-being, and comfort:

• Hybrid onboarding to start remotely and relocation support for you and your family.
• Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family.
• Professional development budget for conferences, courses, and learning resources.
• Flexible benefits package tailored to your priorities.
• Hybrid work and generous leave options for work-life balance.
• In-office perks including free meals and snacks.
• Company-funded sports activities, annual offsites, and team-building events.
