Job description

Senior Python Engineer x 2

This is a hands‑on senior engineering role for someone who wants to stay technical while working on a complex, production‑critical platform.

You’ll be joining an established product team during a major v1 → v2 re‑platforming phase, focused on scalability, reliability, and long‑term maintainability.

The work is backend‑heavy, pragmatic, and delivery‑focused.

What you’ll be working on

• Python‑based backend services and APIs (Flask)
• ETL pipelines ingesting high‑volume data
• PostgreSQL data persistence and Elasticsearch search/indexing
• Contributing to a large‑scale product rewrite
• Building reliable, production‑ready systems used in real legal cases

What they’re looking for

• Strong commercial Python experience
• Solid backend engineering fundamentals
• Comfortable working autonomously in a remote‑first team
• Clear communicator who flags risks early
• Not a people‑management role – this stays technical

Nice to have

• Elasticsearch experience
• Exposure to Kubernetes or containerised environments

The appeal

• Real product, real users, real scale
• High trust and autonomy
• Clear roadmap and long‑term technical investment

Salary: £60k – £90k
Location: Remote UK (Leeds optional)
