Senior Python Backend Developer
📍 London, 3 days per week in office
💰 £80,000-£90,000 + Bonus
🐍 Python | Django | Flask | Pandas | APIs | Data Pipelines
A growing engineering team is looking for a Senior Python Backend Developer to join as the platform continues to scale following a number of new client wins. They’re looking for a strong software engineer first, someone who enjoys building backend applications and APIs, but is equally comfortable working with data-heavy systems, pipelines and calculation engines.
The successful engineer will join a small team where there is plenty of opportunity to influence how things are built. Initially, they’ll get hands-on with the existing platform before taking increasing ownership of features and technical components.
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.
They’ll be working across:
- Core Python backend services and APIs
- Django and Flask applications
- Pandas and data-processing workflows
- Data pipelines and calculation engines
- Performance, scalability and reliability
- Architecture, testing, observability and continuous delivery
The team is also looking to improve its approach to data orchestration, so experience with Airflow, ETL or similar tooling would be particularly useful.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This isn’t a pure Data Engineering or Big Data role. The sweet spot is a strong generalist Python engineer who has built production software and is comfortable solving data-heavy backend problems.
They’d ideally like someone who has worked within a startup or scale-up environment, enjoys ownership and is comfortable operating without layers of product or management around them. There is also scope over time to take on broader technical ownership, planning or people leadership.
❗ No visa sponsorship available.
