Senior DevOps + Python Engineer

We’re looking for a fully remote (EU / Ukraine only) senior DevOps + Python Engineer to help us design and implement secure, automated infrastructure for our clients. You’ll also be supporting the development of our LLM-based AI bidding tools, currently in closed beta.

You’ll own the CI/CD process for key client projects using GitHub Actions and use your Python skills to build custom automation and tooling.

We move quickly, trust each other to deliver, and give you space to own your work from day one.

In this role, you will

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to ensure fast and reliable releases.
• Champion best practices for Git and GitHub, including branching strategies, pull requests, and code review workflows.
• Ensure our infrastructure and pipelines meet the stringent security and compliance standards required for our public sector clients.
• Write and maintain robust Python scripts to automate operational tasks, deployments, and infrastructure management.
• Contribute to the development of our LLM-based AI tools (currently in closed beta)
• Work closely with the development team to support the deployment of our FastAPI applications and foster a strong DevOps culture.
• Iteratively improve the pipelines and codebases with refactoring, bug fixes, and optimisation.

Skills and Experience

Essential

• Demonstrable, hands-on experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
• Strong proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, and scripting purposes.
• Familiarity with deploying Python web applications, especially those built with FastAPI.
• A deep understanding of Git workflows and modern source control management practices on the GitHub platform.
• A sense of urgency: you’re a responsive communicator who works quickly and to the highest standards
• The ability to thrive in ambiguity, tackling problems that might not be well defined and that may not have obvious solutions
• A burning desire to improve the current state of government software contracting.

Nice to have

• DevOps experience within government and public sector organisations
• Experience with geospatial data.
• You’ve built an LLM-based application before.
