Descrição da oferta de emprego

We are looking for an experienced Python developer based near Porto or A Coruñato join our team.

//or in other words the master of building API’s and backend services using Python [bonus for previous AI experience]

Who are we?

We are the DEUS initiative, and we are all about exploring AI in the service of humanity. No, we are not calling ourselves gods(!), but our name is a reference to ‘deus ex machina’ (or god from the machine in Latin). We believe that artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, computer vision and natural language processing will have a massive impact on the way we live, and we want to make sure that we create a positive impact on the world with these AI services.

As a happy coincidence, DEUS is also an acronym representing the quadrivium of key disciplines we believe are important to building successful AI-powered services: Data / Engineering / User-experience design / Strategy. DEUS is a new initiative, but the founders have been working together very successfully for years, so there is a comfortable family feel to the company. We have an amazing set of international client partnerships (and projects/challenges). Our headquarters is located in the heart of the city centre of Amsterdam. We also have a team in Portugal that is based out of the beautiful city of Porto with an office close to the beach, and our Spanish team is based out of the charming center of A Coruña!

Who are you?

You’re proficient in Python and have experience building APIs using FastAPI, Django, or Flask. You’re also familiar with GraphQL, gRPC, REST, or other synchronous communication protocols.

You understand asynchronous programming and concurrency concepts in Python (e.g., asyncio, multithreading, AnyIO), and use tools like Pydantic and SQLAlchemy to write clean, production-ready code.

You’ve worked with SQL or NoSQL databases (bonus points for experience with DynamoDB or Cosmos DB).

You’re familiar with event-driven systems using tools like Kafka or RabbitMQ.

You have experience working in cloud environments such as AWS or Azure.

You have experience with microservices and containerized applications; knowledge of Kubernetes is a plus.

You understand authentication protocols like OAuth2, OIDC, and JWT, and have a solid grasp of CI/CD, monitoring, and infrastructure tools like Docker, Terraform, and Helm.

You care about code quality, write unit tests, and apply modern debugging and automation practices.

You’re a strong team player who enjoys mentoring, sharing knowledge, and collaborating with others.

Bonus: Experience with Go or another object-oriented language.

Bonus points for AI experience

Basic understanding of AI systems and their core components.

Hands-on experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using vector databases like FAISS, ChromaDB, or Weaviate.

Familiarity with agentic AI systems using tools such as LangChain, Haystack, or OpenAI’s function calling.

Experience in prompt engineering, fine-tuning LLMs, or integrating AI into production systems.

Some of the tasks you might be doing in this role:

Collaborating with cross-functional teams to plan, design, and develop backend features using Agile methodologies.

Creating new APIs and implementing business logic.

Developing robust and secure authentication mechanisms.

Launching greenfield projects and setting best practices from day one.

Improving and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

Setting up monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.

Working closely with stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver practical solutions.

Benchmarking and optimizing backend systems for performance.

Working with infrastructure tools like Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and Helm.

...and some more points:

• Written and verbal English is the only language requirement.
• We will provide top hardware [macbook pro etc] and the latest software – we use the right tools for the job.
• note: If you don’t feel that you perfectly fit the description above, but you have some other background or skillset that you think could be of interest, please still get in touch!

We are dedicated to making a friendly and inclusive workplace. To put it bluntly, there is an unwritten ‘no assholes’ policy that applies to both ourselves and our clients, as we always want to enjoy our team dynamic. We do trips, conferences and events together on a regular basis, and we are always committed to cultivating a company that embraces differences. We strongly believe in flexibility, and you will be given a lot of freedom while translating complicated problems into easy-to-use products. This means managing your own priorities, trying out new things and working a flexible hours’ scheme.
