Job summary

AgileEngine, LLC in Coimbra, Portugal is seeking a Python Developer to build and scale an event-driven integration platform with APIs, resilience, and AI-facing integrations.

The role requires deep Python experience, knowledge of event-driven architectures, REST/OpenAPI design, and Kafka. You’ll work with CI/CD, Linux, and containerized services in a fast-moving team with remote and office options.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of production Python experience with typed, tested APIs.
• Strong knowledge of event-driven, asynchronous architectures.
• REST API design and OpenAPI experience; AsyncAPI contracts.
• Kafka or equivalent streaming platform experience.
• GenAI-assisted development with AI coding tools.
• Testing discipline (pytest), CI/CD pipelines, Linux, Git, and containers.
• Ability to explain trade-offs and design decisions clearly.
• Desire to learn and evaluate new tools continuously.

Responsibilities

• Build and evolve a Python service handling an event taxonomy, durable replayable logs, and workers that operate on the ITSM platform.
• Design and maintain interfaces using OpenAPI and AsyncAPI.
• Create a robust correlation/decision layer turning signals into actions with exactly-once behavior.
• Develop resilience mechanisms to keep services usable during upstream outages.
• Support multiple access patterns: fire-and-forget, submit-and-poll, webhooks and streaming ingest.
• Develop event type registry and self-service onboarding for teams.
• Build GenAI-facing interfaces for safe tool use by AI agents.
• Modernize legacy integrations with controlled deprecation paths.
• Own quality end-to-end: reviews, standards, tests, observability, production support.
• Participate in ceremonies and customer meetings to gather requirements.
• Autonomously own components or projects with architecture decisions documented.

Job description

Coimbra, Portugal

AgileEngine is an Inc. 5000 company that creates award-winning software for Fortune 500 brands and trailblazing startups across 17+ industries. We rank among the leaders in areas like application development and AI/ML, and our people-first culture has earned us multiple Best Place to Work awards.

WHY JOIN US

If you're looking for a place to grow, make an impact, and work with people who care, we'd love to meet you!

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Python Developer to build and scale an event-driven integration platform, including APIs, resilience mechanisms, and AI-facing integrations.

MUST HAVES

• At least 4 years of production experience with Python — typed, tested, packaged services and APIs, not just scripting — with solid development fundamentals: data structures, design patterns, concurrency and asynchronous programming.
• Solid grasp of event-driven and asynchronous architecture: messaging, durable logs, at-least-once delivery, idempotency, retries, dead-letter queues, replay and backpressure.
• REST API design and practical OpenAPI experience; willingness to work to AsyncAPI contracts.
• Apache Kafka or an equivalent streaming platform.
• GenAI-assisted development — you actively use AI coding agents in your daily workflow, or are demonstrably keen to adopt them. We build with these tools and expect everyone in the squad to be fluent in them, including the judgement to know when their output cannot be trusted.
• Testing discipline (pytest, contract testing), CI/CD pipelines, Linux, Git and containers.
• Methodical problem-solving and debugging across distributed systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication — you can explain a trade-off (consistency versus availability, synchronous versus asynchronous) to a global audience and defend it in architectural review.
• A genuine desire to keep learning, and to evaluate new tools thoroughly rather than adopt them uncritically.

NICE TO HAVES

• Building GenAI-facing products: agent skills, tool-calling protocols, retrieval pipelines, or LLM API integration.
• Integration experience with large commercial SaaS platforms, particularly ITSM or ITAM products.
• Relational and NoSQL databases; GraphQL; OAuth2 and enterprise identity integration.
• ITSM/ITAM domain knowledge — incident, change, service request, configuration and asset management.
• Experience decommissioning legacy integrations and running deprecation programmes.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build and evolve the backbone — a Python service handling an observation / intent / outcome event taxonomy, a durable replayable event log, and workers that translate events into operations on the ITSM platform.
• Design and maintain contract-first interfaces using OpenAPI and AsyncAPI.
• Build the correlation and decision layer that turns incoming signals into the right ITSM actions — deduplicated, correlated, and applied exactly once.
• Design and deliver the platform's resilience mechanisms — keeping the service usable, and consumer requests safe and recoverable, when the upstream vendor platform is degraded or unavailable.
• Build multiple access patterns over a single async core — fire-and-forget, submit-and-poll, webhook and stream subscriptions, and bulk/micro-batch ingest — so each consumer integrates at the level its use case demands.
• Develop the event type registry and self-service onboarding, so consuming teams register their own event types, handlers and subscriptions.
• Build GenAI-facing integration surfaces — agent skills and tool-calling interfaces that let AI agents discover and consume the platform safely.
• Modernise and migrate legacy integrations onto the new platform through managed deprecation paths, without disrupting existing consumers.
• Own quality end to end: code review, coding standards, contract and integration testing, observability, and production support of what you ship.
• Take part in squad ceremonies and customer-facing meetings; work directly with consuming teams to understand their requirements and constraints.
• Autonomously take ownership of a component or an entire project, and work with the squad's technical architect to document significant decisions as architecture decision records.

PERKS AND BENEFITS

• Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
• Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
• Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
