Morgan Black (Amsterdam NH, Netherlands) Follow 4 hours ago

As a Senior Python Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing and continuously improving a modern cloud-based application that enables users to easily build, manage and deploy scalable data solutions.

You will work on a product that simplifies complex data engineering processes through an intuitive and user-friendly interface. Rather than developing data pipelines yourself, you will focus on building the software that enables data professionals to work more efficiently, with a strong emphasis on usability, automation and scalability.

You will be involved throughout the entire software development lifecycle, from architecture and implementation to deployment, testing and continuous improvement. Together with a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will build a robust, cloud-native application running on Microsoft Azure and Databricks.

Besides writing high-quality software, you will actively contribute to architectural decisions, performance optimizations, developer experience and long-term product quality.

Responsibilities

Develop and enhance a cloud-native application that enables users to design, manage and deploy scalable data solutions.
Build intuitive functionality that simplifies complex technical workflows and improves the overall user experience.
Improve the core application through smart data processing techniques, validation and performance optimization.
Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for cloud deployments and supporting resources.
Extend and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
Write clean, maintainable and well-tested Python code following modern software engineering principles.
Stay up to date with developments in Databricks, Azure and cloud-native technologies.
Create and maintain high-quality technical documentation.
Continuously improve the platform through testing, refactoring and performance enhancements.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of experience as a Python Developer, Software Engineer or Backend Developer.
Strong experience with object-oriented Python development.
Hands-on experience with Databricks.
Experience with Microsoft Azure Cloud.
Experience developing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines, preferably GitHub Actions.
Experience developing scalable backend applications and cloud-native solutions.
Knowledge of REST APIs and modern software architecture.
Passion for writing clean, maintainable and well-tested code.
Excellent communication skills.
Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent working and thinking level).

Nice to have

Experience with cloud-native application development.
Experience improving developer tooling and user experience.
Knowledge of performance optimization and software quality practices.

Please note: This position focuses on software engineering rather than data engineering. Candidates whose experience is primarily centered around building data pipelines or performing data engineering tasks are less likely to be a suitable match.

Company & Culture

You will join an innovative technology-driven organisation that invests heavily in cloud solutions, software engineering and developer productivity. The team is building a modern SaaS-like application that helps technical users work more efficiently through automation and intuitive tooling.

The culture is collaborative, informal and engineering-focused. There is a strong emphasis on ownership, code quality and continuous improvement, while giving engineers plenty of freedom to influence architecture, technical direction and product evolution.
