Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of professional software engineering experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on Python development building production applications, services, or tooling, rather than primarily scripting.
• Experience designing, building, and supporting REST APIs and web applications in production.
• Experience designing and maintaining relational database schemas and the associated data access layer.
• Experience deploying and supporting services on Linux in production.
• Experience integrating with external systems through APIs and device interfaces, including REST, SSH/CLI, or similar technologies.
• Experience writing automated tests and shipping through Git-based code review.
• Strong Python skills, including typed, tested, production-quality code.
• REST API design using FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar technologies.
• JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, with experience developing modern front ends without heavy framework dependence.
• SQL and relational databases, including MariaDB/MySQL.
• Git, including branching, pull requests, and code review.
• Asynchronous and concurrent programming, including threads, async I/O, and parallel fan-out.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain the operator-facing web application, including rack views, pipelines, dashboards, work orders, and approvals.
• Develop backend services and REST APIs in Python using FastAPI or similar technologies to expose inventory, device actions, and run status.
• Build and extend the pipeline/DAG engine, including stage ordering, retries, parallel fan-out across devices, run history, and resume-from-failure behavior.
• Build real-time features such as live run output, device status, and rack health using SSE or WebSockets.
• Develop and maintain CLI tools and a command router that dispatches actions by customer, device type, and OEM.
• Own the schema and data access layer for the inventory database, including racks, devices, addressing, credentials, and run results.
• Maintain the inventory as the single source of truth for addressing and device identity, ensuring consistency across the tools that read and write to it.
• Build automated checks that scan racks and servers for health issues and open work orders.
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, using Git branching and code review to safely deploy to production.
