We are seeking a dedicated Lead Python Engineer to become part of our team.

This role centers on advancing cloud infrastructure, automation workflows, and engineering practices within an AWS-focused setting. The position provides the chance to lead meaningful migrations, support AI-enabled engineering improvements, and help establish secure, scalable platform foundations.

Responsibilities

• Work within a spec-driven software development lifecycle
• Build AI-powered improvements for design, delivery, and triage processes
• Evaluate new tools and solutions as possible candidates for enterprise-level AI enablement offerings
• Architect, develop, and maintain AWS Lambda services and API Gateway endpoints with Python and boto3
• Spearhead the CI/CD transition from legacy cicd-functions pipelines to GitHub Actions workflows
• Oversee infrastructure as code through Terraform as the main tool, complemented by Serverless frameworks
• Perform brownfield refactors, service retirements, and migrations, including OAuth migrations, WAF block-mode rollouts, and Mythos SAST/SCA remediations
• Set up and tune AWS WAF rules while addressing security issues identified by SAST and SCA tooling
• Streamline operational workflows and support agentic platform efforts, with familiarity with tools like n8n, LangChain, or comparable orchestration solutions seen as an advantage
• Work alongside the SRE Consultant on telemetry gaps and Lambda-driven data collection automation

Requirements

• At least 5 years of relevant professional background
• A minimum of one year guiding and managing development teams
• Python development expertise focused on AWS Lambda and API Gateway in production settings
• Strong command of boto3 across services such as IAM, Secrets Manager, SSM, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, and WAF
• Practical Terraform experience for production-grade infrastructure as code, covering authoring, refactoring, and reviewing modules
• Working knowledge of the Serverless Framework, including supporting and migrating legacy stacks
• Hands-on creation of CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, with confidence in leading a cicd-functions to GHA transition
• Background in configuring AWS WAF rules, switching on block mode, and assisting with incident response
• Knowledge of security tooling like SAST and SCA, plus exposure to a structured compliance program
• Brownfield orientation with a demonstrated history of migrations, decommissions, and refactors rather than greenfield builds
• Excellent spoken and written English communication abilities (B2+ level or higher)

Nice to have

• Background in connecting internal and third-party systems via REST APIs, including patterns such as ServiceNow OAuth client credentials flows
• Knowledge of Snowflake for cloud data warehousing, analytics, and data platform integration
