Senior Python Developer

Senior Python Engineer (PySpark & Azure)

We’re looking for a talented Python Engineer to join a centralized engineering team focused on building shared capabilities that power multiple product teams.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll design and deliver reusable frameworks, libraries, and microservices that support scalable, high-performing products across a distributed engineering organisation.

As part of a central engineering function, you’ll design and build common libraries and microservices used by multiple product teams. You’ll collaborate directly with engineers across several time zones, requiring strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in an asynchronous environment.

Your initial focus will be:

• Abstracting and consolidating existing product code into a shared Python library

• Leveraging PySpark and Data Frames for scalable data processing

• Building Python-based Azure Functions (microservices)

• Establishing architectural patterns that support reuse, scalability, and performance

Following the initial phase, you’ll continue to act as an extension of product teams—designing and delivering shared microservices and libraries that address common technical needs across the organisation.
