OUR TEAM🌟

We’re building and scaling high-performance Python-based services that power messaging automation, analytics, and AI features for millions of users. As we expand, we need a Software Architect who can guide our engineering teams toward long-term technical excellence, design scalable and secure service architectures, and establish unified best practices across the organization.

THE ROLE 💥We’re looking for a Software (Python) Architect to shape the long-term technical direction of our Python ecosystem. This role combines strategic ownership, deep technical expertise, and cross-team leadership to ensure our Python-based systems are scalable, maintainable, and future-ready.

You will play a key role in developing and evolving existing services built for AI functionality and Data analytics, while also designing a roadmap for migrating parts of the product into standalone Python services. Your mission is to bring architectural clarity, technical consistency, and long-term vision to how Python is used across the organization.

You’ll act as both a hands-on expert and a strategic leader, setting standards for service architecture, code quality, performance, and deployment practices. The ideal candidate combines technical mastery with the ability to influence engineering culture, guide cross-team alignment, and drive company-wide architectural initiatives.

Architecture & Strategy

• Define and maintain the architecture strategy for all Python-based systems.
• Lead the migration of product components into standalone Python services.
• Evaluate and guide the adoption of modern frameworks, tools, and cloud solutions.
• Identify technical risks, scalability challenges, and improvement opportunities and propose actionable solutions.

Technical Excellence

• Design and evolve distributed, event-driven, and high-load systems in Python.
• Establish and enforce coding standards, CI/CD best practices, and testing automation.
• Collaborate with DevOps and Infrastructure to enhance observability, reliability, and deployment pipelines.
• Optimize systems for performance, resilience, and maintainability across multiple environments.

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Partner closely with AI/ML, Data Engineering, and Infrastructure teams to ensure architectural alignment.
• Mentor engineers, lead architecture reviews, workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering teams and business stakeholders.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING 🛠️

• 7+ years of professional experience with Python in production-grade, large-scale systems.
• Proven experience designing and operating microservices or distributed architectures.
• Deep understanding of asynchronous programming, concurrency, and Python performance optimization.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (pytest, unittest), and monitoring tools.
• Strong knowledge of REST/gRPC APIs, message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka), and databases (PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB).
• Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid grasp of system design principles, scalability strategies, and performance optimization.
• Excellent communication skills with a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset.
• Experience mentoring engineers and establishing engineering best practices.
• Experience working with AI or Data-intensive services is a strong plus.
