Python Developer

Are you a Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems rather than simply building another web application?

We’re working with an established UK technology business looking to add a Software Engineer to its growing engineering team. You’ll be joining an environment where software engineering, research and infrastructure come together, working on technically challenging projects with genuine real-world applications.

This would particularly suit an engineer with strong Python fundamentals who enjoys understanding how things work under the hood and wants exposure beyond traditional backend/web development.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing, developing and maintaining software primarily using Python

• Working across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements and design through to testing and delivery

• Building robust, maintainable and well-tested software using modern engineering practices

• Developing automation and tooling to support software deployment and infrastructure

• Working with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code

• Developing and integrating APIs and working with files, data and external systems

• Working within Linux-based environments

• Collaborating with experienced Software Engineers on new and existing projects

• Contributing to technical design discussions and solving complex engineering problems

• Gaining exposure to research-led and technically varied project work

What we’re looking for

• Commercial software development experience with strong Python knowledge

• Solid core Python fundamentals beyond framework-specific development

• Experience designing and developing maintainable, testable software

• An understanding of object-oriented design and common software design principles

• Experience with automated testing / Test-Driven Development

• Exposure to APIs and integration-based development

• Familiarity with Linux environments

• Understanding of Git and modern development workflows

• Exposure to CI/CD, automated pipelines or Infrastructure as Code

• A genuine interest in solving technical problems and continuing to broaden your engineering skill set

• Experience with cloud technologies, DevOps tooling, containers or infrastructure automation would be particularly useful, although we’re equally interested in Software Engineers looking to develop further in these areas.
