Candidates should have at least 2 years of experience writing production-grade Python code and designing scalable systems, with proven experience in RESTful API design and implementation. Familiarity with deploying applications in cloud environments, preferably GCP, is required, along with experience in automated deployment pipelines and tests (unit/integration). A strong understanding of secure data handling practices is also necessary. Preferred experience includes API-first design, internal package development, SQL database optimization, data pipeline development, ETL processes, real-time streaming systems, performance optimization techniques, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipeline development. Candidates must be eligible to work in the US or UK and possess a self-motivated, growth-oriented, and adaptable mindset.
The Python Developer will design and deploy production-grade Python microservices and APIs with an emphasis on scalability, performance, and API-first design principles. Responsibilities include developing internal packages and shared tooling, contributing to platform-wide architectural improvements, and writing automated web data scrapers. They will also clean, process, and integrate data into data stores, integrate diverse external APIs, and ingest proprietary customer data with secure handling practices. Building data pipelines, implementing data wrangling solutions, and developing real-time streaming systems for large-scale geospatial datasets are key duties. The role involves deploying and managing applications in cloud environments (GCP) with comprehensive monitoring, participating in technical decision-making and architecture discussions, and staying current with emerging technologies and industry trends.
