Job description
Description
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.

5+ years of expertise in Python
Strong experience with OOP
Expert in Docker: image optimization, security scanning, and registry management

Solid background with SQL and NoSQL databases
Experience designing event‑driven systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar
Built declarative pipelines in Jenkins (Groovy or Declarative) and ArgoCD (
Git fluency: advanced branching, rebasing, conflict resolution
Optional Requirements:
Skilled in YAML, secret management, and automated testing pipelines
Strong debugging mindset—root‑cause analysis is non‑negotiable
Deep mastery of asynchronous patterns (asyncio, Celery)
