About the role
Python Developer Works as part of a team to implement functionality as part of multiple efforts to build data processing applications while taking ownership of architectural design components, technical implementations, and the software development lifecycle. A successful developer will be able to implement functionality to interface with an existing system, as well as writing new functionality to interface with various open-source tools. Knowledge of the software development lifecycle is a must, as the developer will help translate requirements into user stories to be implemented as part of a team. As part of the implementation phase, the developer is expected to include automated tests as part of the CI/CD pipeline to validate the code that is being written. Knowledge of the cloud software deployment process is also key, including familiarity with parallel processing in Python, large data processing using packages such as PySpark, and optimizing Python code for deployment as part of a containerized architecture.
Role Highlights:
- Development of software components in support of various Python-based data processing applications
- Work decomposition and development architectural design for components as part of a larger software development system
- Build with automated testing frameworks to ensure code quality and robust CI/CD deployment processes
- Experience developing web APIs to interface with cloud applications and databases as part of cloud native software applications
- Experience working as part of an Agile team to deliver software iteratively
Experience integrating Python code into Docker containers as part of a distributed architecture.
Experience designing software application components independently based on requirements
Experience leading discussions with customer stakeholders to align on requirements and technical implementations
Required Skills:
Data Processing Python Libraries such as PySpark, Pandas and Numpy Experience with API development in Python using Python libraries such as FastAPIExperience with Unit Testing Frameworks in PyTest and Mocking
Preferred Skills/Experience:
Experience with Python ORM tools for database as code such as SQLAlchemyExperience deploying containerized Python code using Docker on cloud platforms such as AWS
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
