This is a high-impact role where you will influence how we design systems, process data, and build a tech culture that embraces

AI, automation, and emerging software practices

.

What You'll Do

Design, develop, and maintain scalable Python applications across our weather API platform, data pipelines, and internal tools.

Act as a champion for

AI/ML-assisted development workflows

, helping the team adopt modern tools (e.g., Cursor/GitHub Copilot, CI/CD AI automation, LLMs for code review/test gen).

Guide architectural decisions that reflect the

current market trends

(e.g., edge computing, data streaming, generative AI, real-time APIs).

Ensure production readiness and support product releases, including performance tuning and troubleshooting.

Mentor engineers and foster a

culture of continuous technical learning

.

Lead solution reviews, R&D experiments, and cross-team collaboration sessions.

Stay ahead of industry shifts and help drive our adoption of

AI, NoOps/DevOps automation, and intelligent observability tools

.

What You Bring

Must-Have Skills

:

4+ years of backend Python experience, ideally with async frameworks (FastAPI, Sanic, Aiohttp).

Passion for integrating and experimenting with AI-based dev tools.

Ability to lead technical discussions in English (technical writing and communication).

Nice-to-Have Experience

:

Familiarity with AI/ML concepts (e.g., using LLMs, ML APIs, prompt engineering, vector databases).

Experience with asynchronous task queues (RabbitMQ, Celery, Airflow).

Knowledge of NoSQL/in-memory databases (MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra).

Comfort with runtime observability and monitoring tools (Grafana, StatsD, Sentry).

Secondary language knowledge: Node.js, Golang, or PHP.

Contributions to open-source or personal AI-driven projects (share your GitHub!).

Why Join Us

Help lead a

company-wide shift toward AI-driven development practices

.

Work on products that have a real impact - from weather prediction to infrastructure resilience.
