Role Overview

If you enjoy proper backend engineering, this is the kind of role where youll probably feel at home. This Senior Application Engineer role involves lots of Python, Django, and FastAPI, working on APIs, integrations, services, and fixing the kinds of problems that actually make engineering interesting.

The team cares about writing clean code, building things properly, and making sensible technical decisions instead of overengineering everything for the sake of it.

Youll be around people who like solving problems, talking through ideas, improving how things work, and getting solid code into production without endless red tape. Theres a mix of backend work, cloud stuff, architecture input, performance tuning, debugging weird issues, and continuously improving the platform as things scale.

The Stack

Building and improving backend services, APIs, and integrations
Working across Python, Django, FastAPI, and modern application frameworks
Contributing to architecture discussions and technical decisions
Improving application performance, reliability, and maintainability
Working with cloud-based environments, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines
Helping improve deployments, monitoring, and overall platform stability
Collaborating with other engineers on clean code, standards, and best practices
Mentoring junior developers and contributing to a strong engineering culture
Getting involved in proof of concepts, new ideas, and improving how things are done

Youll Fit In If

Youve got a relevant IT qualification (Degree or Diploma) or equivalent hands-on experience thats given you a solid engineering foundation
Youve spent 10+ years building software in object-oriented environments
Youve got 8+ years of solid Python experience
Youve worked properly with Django and FastAPI in production environments
APIs, integrations, and backend services are familiar territory
You understand SQL properly and know your way around database optimisation
Git, CI/CD, and modern development workflows are part of your normal process
Youve worked with cloud platforms, microservices, or containerised environments
You care about writing clean, maintainable code and enjoy solving real engineering problems
Youre happy collaborating with other engineers, sharing ideas, and helping less experienced devs grow

Experience in financial services or regulated enterprise environments would be useful, but its not the main thing they care about.
