Senior Python Engineer, Application Platform

Currently, PandaDoc is seeking a Senior Python Engineer to join our Application Platform Track.

In this team, we are tackling the challenge of breaking down a large, monolithic application into a set of well-defined, scalable services. Our goal is to improve overall system reliability, streamline the release process, and establish clear code ownership. We own several mission-critical domain services and are responsible for making them robust, efficient, and easy to integrate. By driving this transformation, we enable our product, business operations, finance, and customer success teams to work with high-performance, stable service solutions that scale with our company’s growth.

Are you adaptable, driven, and friendly? Do you thrive in a fast-paced work environment where collaboration is the norm? If the answer is yes, then you’re a Panda and we want you to join our team

In this role, you will:

• Participate in the whole development process from backlog refinement and testing to launching product features and technical improvements;
• Build and maintain application architecture;
• Actively collaborate with product managers and scrum masters;
• Follow and contribute to agile development processes (Scrum framework).

Our stack:

• Service-oriented architecture but be prepared to deal with legacy code as well as monolithic services based on the Django framework;
• Two main stacks: Python and Java:
  • Python services are mostly written using AsyncIO frameworks and libraries, but we also have Django-based services and a lot of Celery workloads;
  • Java services based on Spring Boot with custom extensions, Java 11, and Gradle as a build tool;
• AWS and K8S are used extensively for provisioning and deploying workloads;
• The main cross-service communication transports are NATS, Kafka, and RabbitMQ;
• Grafana stack for monitoring, alerting, and distributed tracing

About you:

• At least 5+ years of development experience with Python;
• Experience with the Django framework;
• Experience with any relational databases (SQL queries, migrations, optimization);
• Experience with Java and readiness to write in Java occasionally;
• Experience with message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, NATS, Kafka);
• Care about quality and you know what it means to ship high-quality code;
• Able to put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great experiences;
• English: intermediate+ (verbal and written).
