Python Developer

Location: Remote

Term: Contract

As a Senior Python Developer, you’ll own the backend stack: architecting APIs, automating Kubernetes deployments, and ensuring data flows reliably through databases and event buses. No sugar‑coating—real responsibility, real impact.

Key Responsibilities

      •     Design & Develop

        •   Build and maintain high‑performance Python services and web applications (Flask, FastAPI, Django).

        •   Implement and document modern API architectures (RESTful, gRPC, GraphQL).

        •   Write clean, well‑tested code with type hints, linting, and solid CI coverage.

      •     Kubernetes Automation

        •   Automate deployments using Helm charts or raw manifests.

        •   Manage cluster lifecycle: upgrades, autoscaling, resource quotas, RBAC.

      •     Containers & DevOps

        •   Containerize apps with multi‑stage Docker builds and enforce image security scanning.

        •   Develop and refine CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins and ArgoCD) for GitOps‑style delivery.

        •   Automate rollback strategies and health‑check monitoring—no manual interventions.

      •     Data & Messaging

        •   Design and maintain relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (Redis, MongoDB) schemas.

        •   Integrate and operate event buses (Kafka, RabbitMQ) for async processing and microservices.

        •   Optimize data access patterns and enforce consistency—know when to use transactions vs. eventual consistency.

      •     Collaboration & Standards

        •   Lead design reviews; challenge assumptions with facts, not opinions.

        •   Mentor peers on best practices: Twelve‑Factor App, SOLID principles, CI/CD hygiene.

        •   Drive documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, post‑mortems.
