Senior Software Engineer - Python

The opportunity 

“Artificial Intelligence has shifted from prediction to practice, ushering in the autonomous enterprise—where systems of intelligence drive operations, not just support them.” 

For the past eight years, we've been supporting some of the most iconic enterprises to embrace the potential of AI. Building on our experience and proven impact, we are now more committed than ever to our vision: creating a world of possibility through Superlinear productivity gains.
The next step is clear: we are broadening our horizon throughout Europe, supporting the world’s most critical enterprises in their transformation. To realize this ambitious vision, we’re seeking sharp minds and steady hands: people who care deeply, are mission-driven, build boldly, and own the outcome.

That's why we are hiring a Senior Software Engineer - Python.

The role

As our Software Engineer specialized in Python, you'll be the architect of our core platform infrastructure. You'll write modern, fully type-annotated Python that sets the standard for the team, design elegant abstractions, and build robust systems that define how we deliver software.

What you’ll build

Architectural Design

• Design clean abstractions that make complex systems simple to use

• Create interfaces that elegantly separate concerns and enable modularity

• Architect systems with minimal dependencies and maximum maintainability

• Design modern RESTful APIs following OpenAPI specifications and best practices

• Define data models that capture business logic while remaining flexible

• Build foundational components that other engineers will build upon

• Design data connectors that reliably integrate with enterprise systems
