Job description

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services in Python, writing clean, maintainable, production-grade code.
  • Develop and deploy AI-powered features using Azure-native services including Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB, Docker, and AKS.
  • Architect and implement scalable, cloud-native solutions.
  • Work within tight development cycles - branch, commit, test, and ship via GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines.
  • Write comprehensive unit tests and contribute to high code quality standards.
  • Collaborate within agile sprints and contribute to technical design decisions.

Requirements

Our client is seeking someone with:

  • Strong commercial experience in Python backend development.
  • Experience building APIs and working with cloud-native architectures.
  • Solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and scalable distributed systems.
  • Experience using GitHub for version control, pull requests, and CI/CD workflows.
  • An agile mindset and the confidence to work in a fast-paced, iterative environment.

Desirable Experience

  • Exposure to Azure’s AI ecosystem (AI Foundry, AI Search, Cosmos DB, AKS).
  • Experience integrating AI/LLM-based services into production systems.
  • Familiarity with modern development tooling such as VS Code and AI-assisted coding tools.

Why Apply?

  • Work on a genuinely AI-first product with real-world commercial impact.
  • Join a collaborative, technically strong team with minimal red tape.
  • Remote flexibility with a culture focused on delivery, ownership, and innovation.

If you are a backend Python developer who enjoys building intelligent, scalable systems in Azure and wants to work at the forefront of applied AI, this opportunity is worth exploring.
