• Contribute to products and services that may run across servers, Kubernetes environments, desktop systems, web platforms, or production infrastructure.
• Collaborate proactively with globally distributed engineering teams to deliver reliable and maintainable solutions.
• Debug complex technical issues, identify root causes, and implement robust solutions.
• Contribute to technical architecture and engineering decisions across assigned projects and codebases.
• Take technical ownership and provide leadership within engineering teams and relevant open-source communities.
• Develop comprehensive automated tests and promote strong quality and test engineering practices.
• Create clear, thorough technical documentation that enables users and engineers to understand and operate software effectively.
• Improve software performance, reliability, security, and maintainability through thoughtful engineering practices.
• Contribute to open-source projects and help foster healthy, active technical communities.
• Work across a diverse range of technologies and continuously develop expertise in emerging tools, platforms, and engineering practices.
• Participate in global team collaboration and travel to in-person company events approximately twice a year.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, STEM, or a related discipline, or a compelling alternative professional background.
• Demonstrated professional experience developing modern, maintainable Python software.
• Strong experience with Python programming, software design, testing, debugging, and code quality.
• Professional experience working with Linux, particularly Debian or Ubuntu-based environments.
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, with attention to performance, reliability, maintainability, and security.
• Ability to work independently, organise priorities, and consistently deliver against commitments and schedules.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with strong communication and presentation skills.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with globally distributed colleagues and technical communities.
• Curiosity, flexibility, accountability, thoughtfulness, and a strong commitment to continuous learning.
• A self-starting and results-oriented approach, with a demonstrated willingness to take initiative and exceed expectations.
• Passion for open-source software, technology, innovation, and high-quality engineering.
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally approximately twice a year for company events lasting up to two weeks.
• Experience with container technologies such as LXD, Docker, or Kubernetes is a plus.
• Familiarity with build systems, toolchains, and cross-compilation is advantageous.
• Additional programming experience in languages such as Go, Rust, C, or C++ is beneficial.
• Experience with web or Flutter front-end development, REST or gRPC APIs, SQL or NoSQL databases, public cloud platforms, or OpenStack is a plus.
