Join a large-scale, mission-critical software platform used daily by over 40,000 users, where AI components are becoming central to the next generation of capabilities.
As Senior Python Engineer, you’ll take the technical lead in professionalizing and scaling the Python environment that powers our AI development.
You’ll design a future-proof setup for CI/CD, testing, packaging, and deployment, ensuring that AI developers can deliver reliable, maintainable code in a secure and automated pipeline. This is an opportunity to shape standards, coach fellow engineers, and build a modern, enterprise-grade Python + MLOps environment within a professional Agile setup.
