Where Python meets cloud-native architecture — join a global technology consultancy delivering a high-impact, long-term project for a leading international bank.

📍 Remote in Portugal (occasional on-site visits)

📄 Permanent contract directly with the consultancy

We are recruiting a Senior Python Developer to join a global technology consultancy on a strategic project for a reference organisation in the international banking sector.

You will be part of a distributed engineering team, designing and developing scalable backend services and cloud-native architectures on AWS — in an environment where security, reliability and clean code are non-negotiable.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain REST APIs and microservices
• Develop cloud-native solutions on AWS — API Gateway, Lambda, ECS/Fargate, RDS
• Design event-driven and serverless architectures
• Build and manage APIs and integrations using OpenAPI and Kong
• Work with messaging systems (SQS, Kafka) for asynchronous processing
• Ensure security, reliability and scalability — IAM, retries, logging, DLQs
• Support CI/CD pipelines, Docker, ECS and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Collaborate with stakeholders and mentor junior developers

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of Python experience — FastAPI or Flask, OOP, clean code, testing
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS and microservices/serverless architectures
• Solid knowledge of REST APIs and API security — OAuth2, JWT
• Experience with integration patterns and distributed systems

Nice to Have

• Terraform or Infrastructure as Code experience
• Exposure to Databricks or data engineering workflows
• Knowledge of CI/CD tools — Jenkins, GitHub Actions
• Experience with Docker and containerisation
• Familiarity with observability tools and logging frameworks
