• Conduct thorough testing and ensure software quality and reliability.
  
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues.
  
• Participate in code reviews and knowledge sharing.
  
• Stay up to date with emerging tools, libraries, and trends in Python and software development.
  

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on Python development experience.
  
• Strong understanding of core Python, data structures, and object-oriented design.
  
• Experience with modern Python frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, or Flask.
  
• Solid understanding of relational databases and SQL performance tuning.
  
• Knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies.
  
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
  
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g. Git).
  
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience working with cloud platforms (ideally Azure).
  
• Exposure to data analysis and visualisation tools such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib.
  
• Familiarity with testing frameworks like Unittest or Pytest.
  
• Understanding of DevOps concepts and tools.
  
• Exposure to Large Language Models (LLMs) and their use cases.
  

What’s on Offer:

• A proactive, supportive work culture focused on collaboration and team success.
  
• Hybrid working environment with regular in-office days to maximise team effectiveness.
  
• A strong pipeline of projects and a commitment to staff development and growth.
  
• Extra leave day for your birthday.
  
• Regular team social events (morning teas, BBQs, charity days, etc.)
