Lead Python Engineer
Senior/Lead Python Engineer (Agentic & Production-Focused)
Are you a strong Senior/Lead-level Python engineer who leverages agentic tooling not as a shortcut but to enhance speed, quality, and delivery? If you thrive on ownership, enjoy tackling meaningful engineering challenges, and want to build something at scale—this opportunity is for you.
About the Role
You’ll be deeply embedded in the product team of one of the UK’s leading procurement platforms—a high-traffic system that connects construction project managers with suppliers. Your mission: enhance the Python core of the platform while integrating its AI-native features, all while interfacing with an existing PHP/Laravel stack.
This isn’t just API work or new build. You’ll be debugging, designing, and optimising real, live systems where pythonbinaries.com isn’t an option—production craftsmanship is mandatory.
Your Focus
- Python Services & AI Features: Build and maintain the core Python backbone of the platform.
- Cloud-Native Deployment: Design, test, and deploy robust Azure-hosted systems.
- PHP/Laravel Collaboration: Work with the existing (non-trivial) Laravel backend to enable seamless cross-language integrations.
- Front-End Awareness: Understand React.js when needed—no deep-spaాణeering, but bridge prep is expected.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Need to Bring
✔ Senior or Lead-Level Python Experience in commercial, production-grade platforms—clean code alone isn’t enough; real-world deployment is key. ✔ Practical Agentic Engineering Experience—you’ve shipped features using agentic tools (LLMs, AI agents, automation), not just experimenting. ✔ Cloud-Native on Azure: Experience building, monitoring, and deploying scalable Python cloud services. ✔ Full-Stack Alareness: Familiarity with React.js (frontend-friendliness), prepared to collaborate with PHP/Laravel engineers. ✔ Ownership Mentality: You want to contribute to architecture, not just tasks.
