For a freelance project we are looking for a

Python Developer (f/m/d)

For our customer we are looking for a Python Developer (f/m/d) to support in a project.

Background

The customer build AI-powered applications that improve operational efficiency. Their solutions run on a largely custom, Python-first stack and are deployed on Microsoft Azure. They are seeking temporary support from a Senior Python Developer with strong DevOps expertise to streamline our infrastructure and deliver a microservice for skill-based people search. They work in an agile environment (Kanban or sprints), and the role is fully remote.

Responsibilities

  • Optimize our frontend deployment pipeline in Azure DevOps, aligned to our constraints and requirements
  • Design, prototype, and implement a “telephone book”- style, high-performance internal search service. The solution should be in Python or use Python as a wrapper around a suitable prebuilt search engine
  • Write clear documentation and implement unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and maintainability
  • Collaborate closely with internal data scientists, software engineers, and project managers; participate in regular checkpoints and code reviews.

Project Scope

  • Task 1: Consolidate Azure DevOps deployment pipelines for several frontend applications to deploy to a single server rather than separate resources.
  • Task 2: Implement an MVP “people finder” microservice using Apache Solr with a thin Python wrapper (or comparable tooling)
  • Task 3: Depending on remaining time, contribute to additional Python or Azure DevOps-related tasks.

Profile

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a Python developer
  • Extensive hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps (CI/CD)
  • Proven track record delivering enterprise-grade software
  • Experience working in agile teams (Kanban or Scrum)
  • Fluency in English; German proficiency highly desirable

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with frontend build pipelines
  • (Vite/React)
  • Experience with IIS
  • Experience with search technologies (e.g., Solr, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch) and hybrid / semantic search
