Description
Senior Python Software Engineer | Bristol | Up to £80k + Stock (3 Days a week onsite)
I’m hiring for a growing B2B SaaS company looking for a genuinely well-rounded Senior Software Engineer.
This is not a pure DevOps role.
It is not a narrow data-engineering position.
And it is not a role where you only build isolated APIs and hand everything else to another team.
They need someone comfortable working across the full technical picture: building web applications, writing production Python, working with Linux, deploying into AWS, designing APIs, modelling databases and moving data through reliable ETL pipelines.
You do not need to be exceptional in every area.
The hiring manager would rather meet someone with solid, balanced experience across the stack than someone world-class in one area with no exposure to the rest.
The role
You’ll take meaningful ownership of a growing SaaS platform, working across:
Python web development using FastAPI, Django or FlaskCustomer-facing web applications and backend servicesREST APIs and third-party integrationsLinux development and production environmentsAWS infrastructure and deploymentPostgreSQL, SQL and NoSQL databasesETL pipelines and data-processing workflowsDocker, testing, CI/CD and production reliabilitySome HTML, CSS and JavaScript where required
You’ll work closely with Product and the wider business, helping turn requirements into maintainable software rather than simply completing tickets.
There is also scope to influence architecture, engineering standards and future hiring as the team grows.
What they’re looking for
You’ll likely have:
Strong commercial Python software-engineering experienceExperience building complete web applications, not only scripts or infrastructure toolingHands-on Linux experience across development, deployment and troubleshootingExposure to AWS and containerised environmentsExperience designing and integrating APIsStrong SQL skills and some NoSQL exposureExperience building or supporting ETL and data-processing pipelinesThe confidence to work autonomously in a small product teamA pragmatic approach to testing, security and maintainability
You might currently be a Senior Python Engineer, Backend Engineer, Full-Stack Engineer, Lead Developer or an experienced Software Engineer who enjoys working across boundaries.
