Senior Python Engineer – FastAPI, PublicAPI

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in France.

• Release features utilized by both self-service developers and large enterprise clients, ensuring that the API remains dependable, scalable, and user-friendly for integration.

• Take ownership of the API landscape from start to finish: encompassing design choices (naming, versioning, structure), implementation, performance, and long-term sustainability.

• Quickly iterate based on actual usage; we deploy updates multiple times a week, leveraging data and user feedback to prioritize the most critical aspects.

• Work closely with product, machine learning, backend, and sales teams to guarantee that the API provides genuine value to users.

• Proficient with FastAPI (or similar frameworks) and experienced in async patterns, concurrency, and debugging in production environments.

• Have led or made substantial contributions to the design of public-facing APIs, considering aspects like versioning, consistency, and long-term development.

• Possess a strong commitment to reliability, performance, and enhancing the developer experience.

• Demonstrate a pragmatic and product-oriented mindset — focus on impact and speed while steering clear of unnecessary complexity.

• Comfortable making decisions, while closely collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Experience working in high-performing teams, ideally within fast-paced or startup settings.

• Ability to communicate effectively and translate technical decisions into comprehensible concepts for others.

🏝️ Benefits

• Relocation assistance available (up to €10k), including support with visa and housing arrangements.
