Do you have experience with Python?

If you have answered yes, we are looking for you.

You could join our clients rapidly growing SaaS software company which operates on a global scale. 

We are searching for a Senior Software Engineer based in Poland to design, build, and maintain high-volume, event-driven back-end services and data pipelines for our Fulfillment platform. In this role, you will lead architectural decisions, optimize relational databases, contribute end-to-end across Python and React/TypeScript, champion AI-first engineering practices, and elevate team standards through mentorship and operational excellence.


Your tasks will include:

  • Design, build, and own back-end services in Python that power the platform: APIs, document workflows, and data processing pipelines  
  • Lead design work on non-trivial features: propose architectures, weigh trade-offs, write and review design documents, and drive decisions to closure with the team  
  • Build and evolve event-driven and asynchronous processing (streams, queues, scheduled jobs) supporting EDI document workflows at high volume  
  • Contribute across the stack including React/TypeScript front-end work so that features ship end-to-end rather than stopping at a service boundary  
  • Model and optimize relational data: schema design, query performance, migrations, and partitioning strategies on large production datasets  
  • Improve reliability and observability: participate in on-call and incident response, reduce alert noise, and drive the resolution of recurring production issues  
  • Raise the engineering bar through code review, pairing, and mentoring of mid-level engineers  
  • Partner with product management, UX, and QA to turn business requirements into maintainable solutions, and with adjacent teams on cross-service dependencies  
  • Work AI-first: use AI engineering tools as a default part of the delivery loop, and actively improve how the team applies them like shared tooling, prompts and skills, agentic workflows, and sensible guardrails

To be a good fit for the Senior Software Engineer role, you will have:

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrable ownership of production systems 
  • Deep Python expertise for back-end services like Django/DRF, FastAPI, or equivalent — including API design and testing practices 
  • Strong relational database skills: schema design, indexing, query optimization, and migrations (PostgreSQL/Aurora, MySQL, or Oracle) 
  • Asynchronous and event-driven experience: message queues or streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, SQS/SNS, RabbitMQ) and background task processing (Celery or similar) 
  • Cloud experience, AWS preferred (or Azure/GCP with willingness to work in AWS) 
  • Design and technical leadership: has driven a meaningful feature or system from ambiguous requirements through design, delivery, and operation 
  • Working experience with React and TypeScript or another modern component framework (Vue, Angular) plus a genuine willingness to work in React 
  • Production ownership: on-call participation, debugging live incidents, and improving reliability afterwards 
  • Solid engineering hygiene: Git, CI/CD, automated testing, code review 
  • Comfortable in an Agile/Scrum team and in a distributed setting across time zones 
  • Professional working proficiency in English, written and spoken 
  • Fluent, daily hands-on use of AI engineering tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or similar)  

Reasons to join:

  • Employment contract
  • Modern tech stack (Python, React, TypeScript, AWS) with room to influence architectural decisions 
  • AI-forward engineering culture - the team actively uses Claude and Copilot in daily work, with growing opportunities to build AI-powered product features 
  • Hybrid work model with office presence in Poland — flexibility plus in-person collaboration 
  • Opportunity to work on complex data workflows (EDI, supply chain automation) that most engineers never encounter 
  • Collaborative, non-hierarchical engineering culture - all ideas are heard, knowledge-sharing is fast and organic, and bureaucracy is minimal
