Senior Software Engineer (Python; Cloud)

About the Position

Senior Software Engineer (Python; Cloud)

We are looking for a proactive, technically minded Senior Software Engineer who combines solid engineering fundamentals with a passion for modern, AI-assisted development.

This role is ideal for a curious, self-driven engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, learning new technologies rapidly, and taking full ownership of delivering high-quality solutions. You will have the opportunity to blend Python development and cloud engineering with cutting-edge AI-powered development practices while engaging directly with clients and stakeholders to drive impactful results.

Responsibilities

• Solution Design & Architecture: Analyze business and technical requirements, make sound architectural decisions, and design both high-level system flows and lower-level components.
• Software Development: Design, build, and maintain software applications using Python and modern engineering practices.
• AI-Assisted Engineering: Leverage AI tools across the development lifecycle to optimize coding efficiency, enhance code quality, and streamline problem-solving.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Collaborate directly with stakeholders and team members to clarify requirements, confirm decisions, and lead technical discussions.
• Independent Ownership: Work independently and proactively to move projects forward while ensuring alignment with architectural constraints, technical standards, and project goals.
• Continuous Innovation: Continuously explore, learn, and adopt new technologies, frameworks, and engineering methodologies.

Requirements

• Python & Core Engineering: Practical Python development experience. Strong problem-solving skills, sound engineering judgment, and a quick-learning mindset are valued above niche specialization.
• AI-Assisted Development: Demonstrated ability and enthusiasm for using AI tools to accelerate software development, debugging, and problem-solving.
• Cloud Engineering: Hands-on experience developing and deploying applications on at least one major cloud platform (preferably Azure).
• Technical Architecture: Intermediate architecture skills with the ability to translate high-level system requirements into actionable component designs.
• Communication & Collaboration: Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to clarify complex requirements and drive technical alignment.
• Ownership & Initiative: High accountability and proactivity-someone who takes pride in owning outcomes end-to-end and adapting to changing technical environments.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Microsoft Azure is preferable. Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) would also be an advantage.
• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs or microservices architectures in Python.
• Experience integrating AI-powered solutions, LLMs, MCPs, and developer AI tools into software development processes.

We Offer

• Net Hourly Rate: 140 - 200 PLN/hr, dependent on your skills and experience.
• Career Development: We prioritize your career growth and help you develop your skills.
• Culture: Our culture thrives on our core values: Heart, Brains, and Courage.
  • Heart: Fostering empathy and trust.
  • Brains: Valuing relentless curiosity and collaborative intelligence.
  • Courage: Inspiring you to speak up, embrace experimentation, and advocate for bold solutions.
