The opportunity
We are looking for a proactive, technically minded Senior Software Engineer who combines solid engineering fundamentals with a passion for modern, AI-assisted development.
This role is ideal for a curious, self-driven engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, learning new technologies rapidly, and taking full ownership of delivering high-quality solutions. You will have the opportunity to blend Python development and cloud engineering with cutting-edge AI-powered development practices while engaging directly with clients and stakeholders to drive impactful results.
What you'll get to do
Solution Design & Architecture: Analyze business and technical requirements, make sound architectural decisions, and design both high-level system flows and lower-level components.
Software Development: Design, build, and maintain software applications using Python and modern engineering practices.
AI-Assisted Engineering: Leverage AI tools across the development lifecycle to optimize coding efficiency, enhance code quality, and streamline problem-solving.
Stakeholder & Client Collaboration: Collaborate directly with clients, stakeholders, and team members to clarify requirements, confirm decisions, and lead technical discussions.
Independent Ownership: Work independently and proactively to move projects forward while ensuring alignment with architectural constraints, technical standards, and project goals.
Continuous Innovation: Continuously explore, learn, and adopt new technologies, frameworks, and engineering methodologies.
What you should have
Python & Core Engineering: Practical Python development experience. Strong problem-solving skills, sound engineering judgment, and a quick-learning mindset are valued above niche specialization.

Cloud Engineering: Hands‑on experience developing and deploying applications on at least one major cloud platform (preferably Azure).
Technical Architecture: Intermediate architecture skills with the ability to translate high‑level system requirements into actionable component designs.
Communication & Collaboration: Excellent written and spoken English, with the confidence to lead client‑facing conversations, clarify complex requirements, and drive technical alignment.
Ownership & Initiative: High accountability and proactivity‑someone who takes pride in owning outcomes end‑to‑end and adapting to changing technical environments.

Experience with Microsoft Azure is required. Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) would be an advantage
Experience designing and building RESTful APIs or microservices architectures in Python.
Experience integrating AI-powered solutions, LLMs, MCPs and developer AI tools into software development processes.
