Senior Python Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Python Engineer to help design, build, and evolve Contineos enterprise-grade messaging and workflow platform used by leading private banks and wealth management institutions globally.

This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership. You will work closely with product, business, and DevOps teams to deliver scalable backend services while also developing a strong understanding of financial workflows and structured products.

What You'll Do

• Architect, design, and develop Python-based backend services following Contineo engineering standards and best practices.
• Take ownership of key platform components including lifecycle event management, booking modules, and analytics/reporting services.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into well-designed technical solutions.
• Work in an agile, DevOps-driven environment, contributing to CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native deployments.
• Ensure high-quality delivery through proper testing, code reviews, and adherence to acceptance criteria.
• Develop a strong understanding of the platforms functional and financial workflows (this is not a purely technical role).

What Were Looking For

• 7+ years of professional Python development experience, building and maintaining enterprise-scale applications.
• Strong expertise in Python frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, and related tooling (Dash, REST APIs).
• Solid understanding of microservices architectures, HTTP-based integrations, and Kubernetes-based deployments.
• Experience designing and working with data models (relational databases, JSON-based schemas).
• Familiarity with Agile SDLC, testing frameworks, and production-grade software delivery.
• Demonstrated ownership mindset and leadership qualities, even in an individual contributor role.
• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

• Excellent written and spoken English.
