Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

We’re supporting a legal-tech platform that helps litigation teams collect and process Slack data; they’re in the middle of a major re-platform.

They’ve inherited a mess, made big moves toward Kubernetes (away from GCP serverless), and now need a contract engineer to help rebuild a core part of the system by the end of the year.

You’ll be coming in at a critical point, working on Slack data ingestion pipelines and helping build out production-grade services on a new Kubernetes-based setup.

The Stack:

• Kubernetes (mainly for deploying services)
• React (frontend exists, but you won’t need to touch it)

What They’re Looking For:

• Strong Python engineer with FastAPI experience
• Comfortable working in containerised environments
• Hands-on with GCP and/or Kubernetes
• Able to work independently - this isn’t a greenfield, it’s a rescue mission
• Bonus if you’ve dealt with Slack/Jira/Confluence integrations or data pipelines
