Are you an experienced Python Engineer ready to take ownership of technical direction while staying fully hands‑on?
We’re partnered with a purpose‑led organization using technology to create meaningful social change across high impact sectors. They’re scaling fast and need a Technical Lead to guide the evolution of their core platform while remaining embedded in day‑to‑day development.
You’ll be working in a small, collaborative team of engineers who care about writing elegant, efficient code and building products that genuinely help people. This is a chance to stay close to the codebase while influencing architecture, mentoring others and driving best practices across the stack.
What you’ll be doing
* Designing and developing new features and backend services using Python with Flask, FastAPI or Django
* Collaborating closely with frontend engineers working in React or Vue to build seamless, user‑first experiences
* Owning infrastructure decisions across AWS, Terraform and Docker
* Setting the standard for clean, scalable code and modern engineering principles
* Supporting junior engineers through pair programming and code reviews
* Contributing to CI/CD pipelines and continuous improvement of development workflows
What you’ll bring
* Minimum 5+ years’ commercial experience in Python engineering
* Proven ability to lead technically by example while remaining hands‑on in delivery
* Strong background in cloud (AWS) and infrastructure as code (Terraform)
* Solid understanding of SQL and database design
* Experience with modern frontend stacks and API design
* Enthusiasm for mentoring, collaboration and delivering software with impact
