• *Senior Developer - Python | Yorkshire | Remote | £50,000 - £60,000**

We're working with a well-established UK insurance leader undergoing a massive digital transformation on this exciting opportunity.

Step into a high-impact role where you will lead the charge in migrating a legacy PHP estate into a cutting-edge, cloud-native Python ecosystem. This is a rare chance to execute a greenfield-style rebuild within a stable, scale-up environment using AWS, RESTful APIs, and modern DevOps practices.

• *The Role
• Lead the architectural evolution from legacy PHP to a modern, scalable Python-based backend architecture.
• Design and implement secure, high-performance RESTful APIs to underpin future digital insurance products.
• Build and deploy robust cloud-native services within AWS, leveraging Lambda, ECS, and DynamoDB.
• Drive engineering excellence by promoting clean architecture principles, code reviews, and mentoring junior developers.
• Collaborate in an Agile environment to embed observability, monitoring, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
• *What You'll Need
• Extensive commercial experience in backend engineering with a mastery of Python.
• Deep hands-on expertise with AWS services including API Gateway, CloudWatch, Cognito, and serverless technologies.
• Proven track record of designing distributed architectures and secure authentication workflows.
• Experience with modern DevOps tools, Git-based workflows, and automated deployment pipelines.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to navigate legacy transitions (PHP familiarity is a plus but not the focus).
• *What's On Offer
• 100% Remote working flexibility for a perfect work-life balance.
• Significant architectural influence on a multi-year technology investment roadmap.
• A collaborative, cloud-first culture that values engineering innovation over corporate red tape.
• Competitive salary and the security of a well-funded, established industry leader.
