Senior Python Developer

We are looking for an experienced Python Developer to support our client in migrating several internally built business applications into a more robust and maintainable environment.

Beyond hands-on development, this role requires someone who enjoys coaching and mentoring colleagues, helping them improve their coding practices, and ensuring long-term maintainability of the solutions.

This is an excellent opportunity for a developer with strong technical expertise who also values knowledge-sharing and collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the migration of small business-built applications to more scalable and maintainable Python-based solutions.

• Review, refactor, and optimize existing code, ensuring best practices in design, testing, and documentation.

• Act as a coach and mentor to less experienced colleagues, providing guidance on Python development, architecture, and coding standards.

• Work closely with business stakeholders to understand application needs, identify improvements, and ensure smooth migration.

• Implement best practices in version control, CI/CD, and automated testing.

• Ensure applications are secure, stable, and maintainable for long-term use.

Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in Python development (senior or strong mid-level ready to step up).

• Proven experience in migrating or modernizing legacy/business applications.

• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, including clean code, testing, and maintainability.

• Experience with frameworks/libraries such as Flask, Django, or FastAPI.

• Solid knowledge of databases (SQL and/or NoSQL).

• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) is a plus.

• Comfortable with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and agile ways of working.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to mentor and coach colleagues.

We are looking forward to your application.
