Job description

Ciklum is looking for a Senior Python Engineer to join our team full‑time in Poland.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role

As a Senior Python Engineer, become a part of a cross‑functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.

Responsibilities

• Develop Core Scanning Logic: Write high‑performance, concurrent code in Python or Go to handle large‑scale network sweeps using Nmap, ICMP, and ARP
• Implement Agentless Interrogation: Build and maintain the modules responsible for remote data extraction via SNMP (v1‑v3), WMI, and SSH to query diverse hardware without local agents
• Build Fingerprinting Heuristics: Create and refine logic for device identification, accurately mapping raw scan data to specific vendors, models, and firmware versions
• Engineer Data Pipelines: Develop backend processes for data normalization and deduplication, ensuring that messy network data is cleaned before it hits the database
• API Integration & Sync: Build and optimize RESTful APIs to push enriched configuration item (CI) data into the Xurrent CMDB, ensuring synchronization is reliable and performant
• Network Troubleshooting: Debug complex discovery issues related to TCP/IP fundamentals, such as routing hurdles, VLAN segmentation, and firewall blocks
• Cloud & Hybrid Discovery: Develop API‑based collectors to bridge the gap between physical on‑prem hardware and cloud‑managed network devices
• Maintain Technical Documentation: Document protocol‑specific quirks, discovery schemas, and API contracts to ensure the engine remains maintainable by the wider engineering team

Requirements

• Network scanning using Nmap, ICMP, ARP
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3 — querying routers, switches, firewalls, printers
• SSH‑based discovery for Linux/Unix systems
• REST API integrations for cloud‑managed network devices
• Deduplication and data normalization pipelines
• TCP/IP networking fundamentals — subnets, VLANs, routing
• REST API development for CMDB integration and CI sync
• Experience with tools like Netdisco, OpenNMS, or JDisc is a plus
