Python Architect - 100 Remote - Fulltime Role

Role: Java Python Architect 3 position
Location: 100% Remote
Duration: Fulltime
Overview
We are hiring a
Lead Architect
who is a
true hands-on engineer
, someone who designs solutions
and
writes production code daily. You will lead architecture and delivery across a cloud-native platform built on
Java + Spring
,
.NET 10 (and .NET 8)
,
Python (Django/Flask microservices)
,
SQL
,
React
,
+ Socket.IO
, and
Microsoft Azure
(ADO/App Service/Container Apps/Functions/Service Bus/Key Vault/Blob/Monitor/App Insights/APIM).

This role requires cross-stack ownership and the ability to guide teams while staying hands-on coding, reviewing PRs, mentoring offshore engineers, driving PoCs to production, and ensuring security + reliability.

• Lead by coding (daily): Deliver features and fixes in Java/Spring, Python services, and .NET with strong unit/integration test coverage.
• Build & evolve Python microservices: Work across Python 3.12/3.13, Django 5.x and Flask 3.x services, including API design, background processing patterns, and Azure integrations.
• Architect cloud-native services: Build scalable microservices and event-driven workflows on Azure (App Service/Container Apps, Functions).
• Implement async messaging patterns: Use Azure Service Bus (queues/topics/subscriptions), retries, DLQs, idempotency, and resiliency best practices.
• Build real-time capabilities: Develop and scale + Socket.IO/WebSockets services (secure connections, rooms/namespaces, multi-instance scaling patterns).
• Own secure integrations: Implement enterprise-grade security using Azure Key Vault, Managed Identity (MSI), certificates, and Azure AD/Entra ID auth patterns (OAuth2/OIDC/JWT).
• Drive data reliability: Build and optimize SQL Server schemas, queries, and deployment scripts (safe, idempotent, CI/CD friendly).
• Operational excellence: Instrument services with Application Insights/Azure Monitor + OpenTelemetry, build health checks, and support production incidents and root-cause fixes.
• Mentor and set standards: Run strong PR reviews, enforce engineering standards, and mentor offshore engineers through pairing, reviews, and technical guidance.

Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiable)

• Backend (Java)
• Java 21 + Spring Boot 3.x (REST APIs, Spring Security, Spring Data, production microservices)
• API design, middleware, performance mindset; service reliability
• Strong automated testing: JUnit 5 + Mockito (Java) and modern .NET testing patterns
• Python (REQUIRED)
• 5+ years hands-on Python building production services (within overall 10+ years experience)
• Framework experience with Django (5.x) and/or Flask (3.x); ability to design and maintain REST APIs
• Testing culture: pytest (and related patterns like coverage and mocking
• Comfort debugging distributed systems and Azure SDK integrations in Python (identity, storage, telemetry
• Web / UI
• React (TypeScript/JavaScript, modern patterns, debugging and performance awareness)
• Real-Time / Integration
• + Express and Socket.IO/EventsHub/WebSockets (real-time messaging, connection security, scalability)
• Data
• SQL Server (T SQL, query optimization, transactions, deployment scripts, reliability and performance)
• Azure (Hands-On)
• Strong hands-on Azure delivery with: App Service/Container Apps, Azure Functions, Service Bus, Blob Storage, Key Vault, Managed Identity, Application Insights, Azure Monitor/OpenTelemetry, and APIM

Nice-to-Have (Adds Strong Value)

• .NET 10/.NET 8 (API design, middleware, performance mindset; service reliability)
• Redis / Azure Redis Cache (including scaling Socket.IO with Redis adapters)
• Cosmos DB (Mongo API) / MongoDB familiarity
• AI/document workflows exposure: Azure AI Search, Azure OpenAI, Form Recognizer/OCR, and related orchestration patterns (helpful for platform context)
