Python Developer

Position Summary:
• The Cloud Services team is seeking a Software Engineer to design, develop, and evolve the Enterprise File System (EFS) platform. EFS enables rapid packaging, deployment, and execution of distributed applications at scale across global data centers.
• The primary focus of this role is the migration of a legacy, Perl-based distributed application deployed on virtual hosts to a modern Python-based, microservices architecture. This includes designing and implementing API-driven services and enabling scalable, containerized deployments.
• This role will partner with cloud services engineering, operations teams, and subject matter experts to deliver modern distributed solutions aligned with enterprise architecture and security standards.
• Key responsibilities include developing high-quality software that meets functional, non-functional, and compliance requirements; implementing well-defined APIs; writing unit and integration tests; and ensuring solutions integrate cleanly into the broader platform with robust, well-tested interfaces
• The candidate will be expected to follow enterprise development standards and adhere to all security policies from development through deployment.

Required Skills:
• Strong Python expertise with demonstrated experience building production systems
• Experience designing and developing RESTful APIs using the OpenAPI 3.0 specification
• Experience developing large-scale, back-end applications and microservices
• Ability to understand, develop, and maintain complex distributed systems
• Experience with Agile development processes and tools, such as Jira, Confluence, Git, and Bitbucket
• Experience with CI/CD practices and tools such as Jenkins and Ansible
• Experience with Git-based source control and modern development workflows
• Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
• Experience developing across multiple architectural layers (data, application, business)
• Experience creating technical documentation and training materials
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ability to collaborate effectively with geographically distributed teams
• Experience with agentic software development tools; GitHub Copilot experience preferred

Desired Skills:
• Experience with Kubernetes and/or OpenShift
• Experience contributing to or operating containerized microservices environments
• Familiarity with NFS and distributed file system concepts
• Experience with Perl (especially for legacy system migration)
• Experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments
• Experience with NetApp Network Attached Storage devices
• Experience analyzing and reporting on operational data with Oracle SQL and Splunk
• Experience developing automation using Ansible

Remarks:

This role is primarily a Python backend/microservices modernization position with a strong DevOps and distributed systems component. Previous Client experience is a plus not a must. Looking for someone with 8-10 years of hands on experience.

TOP SKILLS:

• Strong production Python experience

• Experience migrating Perl to Python

• Experience building RESTful microservices

• Knowledge of distributed systems

• Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps practices

• Exposure to Kubernetes/OpenShift

NetApp, NFS, Oracle SQL, and Splunk are plus skills

Pls send me someone who has strong hands on Python engineering, API design, distributed systems, and cloud-native application development
