Senior Backend Python Engineer

About

We are looking for a Senior Backend Python Engineer with strong systems thinking and API integration experience to help design, build, and scale our AI-driven network operations platform. You will focus on backend services, data pipelines, and integrations with upstream tools, ensuring reliability, performance, and correctness in a production environment.

Responsibilities

• Write clean, well-structured, testable Python code.
• Optimize for I/O, disk operations, and concurrency in a high-volume production environment.
• Contribute to system design for redundancy, fault tolerance, and scalability.

Data Pipelines & Workflow Orchestration

• Develop and maintain workflows using Prefect (or similar orchestration tools) for:
  • Document ingestion and preprocessing (e.g., manuals, internal docs).
  • Vectorization pipelines and blob storage management for retrieval.
  • Scheduled and event-driven workflows for ticket summarization, alarm correlation, compliance workflows, etc.
• Implement automatic retries, logging, and observability for all workflows.

Integrations & Tooling

• Integrate with a wide range of operational tools (e.g., device lookup, route lookup, trace route, change record lookup).
• Help transition existing “agentic tools” and internal scripts into MCP-based tools and standardized interfaces over time.
• Work with internal tool owners (e.g., networking automation platforms) using APIs, HTML scraping, or direct DB access where needed.
