We are working with a leading technology consultancy to recruit an experienced Senior Python Developer for a major financial-services client.
The role will focus on developing Python-based applications, APIs, integrations, and automation solutions supporting an enterprise ServiceNow Change Management platform and its integrations with multiple internal applications.
This is primarily a back-end engineering role requiring strong Python development experience. Previous ServiceNow experience would be beneficial but is not essential, provided you have a strong background in enterprise integrations and are comfortable learning the platform.
Key responsibilities
- Design and develop Python applications, services, APIs, and automation tools
- Build and support integrations between ServiceNow and internal enterprise systems
- Develop scalable and maintainable solutions across distributed environments
- Automate operational processes and reduce manual effort
- Create unit tests, integration tests, and deployment pipelines
- Support CI/CD, deployment automation, and production environments
- Troubleshoot performance issues and resolve technical defects
- Contribute throughout the full software development lifecycle
- Provide technical leadership and mentor junior developers
- Work closely with architects, product owners, stakeholders, and engineering teams
