Python Engineer
Python Engineer (Backend) – United Kingdom Partner company-based role – Applications managed directly by hiring team
As a Python Engineer, you’ll drive the development of high-performance backend systems powering next-generation genomic analysis and precision healthcare technologies. You’ll work with a global, distributed engineering team to design scalable APIs, web platforms, and cloud-based solutions that impact real-world healthcare solutions. This is an opportunity to leverage modern Python/Django stacks, engage in cloud architecture discussions, and deliver production-grade software while addressing meaningful challenges in bioinformatics and healthcare innovation.
Key Responsibilities
-
Backend Development & Architecture
- Build, enhance, and maintain scalable Python-based backend applications using Django and Django REST Framework.
- Collaborate on system architecture, ensuring high performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Optimise RESTful APIs and backend services for seamless frontend-backend communication.
-
Development Lifecycle
- Lead end-to-end delivery (design → implementation → testing → deployment) of assigned features.
- Conduct peer reviews, drive code quality, and apply software engineering best practices.
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.
