Python Developer - Core Infrastructure

About the Role

Join a high-impact team building core infrastructure for one of Kindgeek's most critical initiatives. You will architect the connectivity layer between internal systems and external platforms, designing for reliability, scale, and security from day one. Working directly with the Team Lead and senior engineers, you'll contribute to architectural decisions that have real product impact.

What You'll Do

• Design and build high-performance Python services, scalable by design, alongside senior engineering and product teams.
• Architect integrations with third-party APIs and external platforms, setting the patterns and practices for the wider team.
• Own system reliability by building distributed systems that can handle real financial workloads, with a relentless focus on scalability and security.
• Translate business requirements into technical architecture, collaborating across product, design, and engineering.
• Elevate code quality by writing clean, testable, efficient Python code and leading thorough code reviews.

Requirements

• 5+ years of Python development experience with deep backend expertise.
• Proven track record building high-performance APIs with FastAPI or other ASGI-based frameworks.
• Deep understanding of RESTful APIs and distributed systems design.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub preferred), Docker, and cloud platforms (AWS or GCP).
• Strong SQL and NoSQL database skills (MariaDB, MongoDB, or similar).
• Architectural judgment to make the right call under pressure.
• Clear, direct communication skills, effective with both engineers and product leads.
• Bonus: Experience with SSO and Identity Providers, particularly Keycloak.

What You'll Get With Kindgeek

We want you to thrive and feel supported:

• Professional Growth: Support for professional development with training and certification refunds, regular feedback, and technical reviews.
• Benefits Package: Competitive compensation, 18 paid vacation days, 10 compensated sick leaves (50% paid, no doctor's note required), study leaves, and health insurance packages from partners based on tenure.
• Personal Growth: Access to corporate English courses (50% reimbursement), an offline library, and a large selection of corporate training and classes. Employees can request any relevant internal or external training or certification.
• Geek Community: A strong community spirit with online and offline clubs (stretching, skiing, English), joint volunteering, and mutual support.
• Flexibility: A hybrid working model, allowing remote work, office-based work, or use of the Kindgeek London Hub (a cafe-style co-working space in Lviv, pet-friendly).
