• Maintain engineering excellence by performing detailed code reviews, crafting thorough tests (including unit, integration, and Playwright end-to-end tests), ensuring structlog observability, and adhering to uv monorepo workspace standards.

• Provide mentorship to mid-level and junior engineers on async Python best practices, pydantic-ai agent design, and the principles of clean and testable agentic architecture.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 6 years of professional backend development experience with expert-level proficiency in Python (3.12+), async/await, FastAPI, and Pydantic v2.

• Demonstrated experience in production environments building complex, distributed systems — preferably including durable workflow orchestration (Temporal or similar), message queues, or event-driven architectures.

• Outstanding communication skills, with the capability to clearly explain agentic design decisions, reliability trade-offs, and LLM behavior to non-technical stakeholders and cross-functional partners.

• A growth mindset, a strong collaborative spirit, a genuine enthusiasm for mentoring others, and a proven history of delivering high-impact features from start to finish in dynamic production settings.
