Senior Python Expert

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Python Software Engineer (Contractor) to join a large-scale digital platform program in the European energy sector. The project focuses on building a cloud-native platform that enables software teams to efficiently develop, deploy, and operate applications across hybrid cloud environments.

PLEASE NOTE: We are looking for a core Python Engineer: essentially someone who loves Python so much that this is (almost) all they want to do. You don't care too much about Cloud, DevOps and all the other stuff. :-)

Also, the client has specified that this role requires min. 8 years of experience with Python.

Key Responsibilities

Develop production-quality Python services based on defined architectural designs.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code with clear documentation.
Collaborate closely with architects and other infrastructure teams (network, compute, storage).
Lead technical discussions, make design decisions, and communicate clearly across teams.
Mentor developers and ensure timely, high-quality delivery.
Identify and implement improvements to tools, workflows, and engineering practices.
