Python Developer

Our client is a

• *fast-growing European robotics company**

developing advanced cognitive robots for industrial and healthcare applications. Founded in recent years, the company designs both

• *hardware and software in-house**

and is rapidly expanding its engineering team as demand for its robotic systems grows.

Their robots are powered by a

• *proprietary cognitive platform**

that combines robotics, AI, and distributed cloud infrastructure to enable autonomous operation in real-world environments. The company collaborates with major technology partners and deploys its solutions with enterprise customers across multiple industries.

Engineers joining the company have the opportunity to work at the intersection of

• *robotics, artificial intelligence, and large-scale distributed systems**

, contributing to the development of next-generation intelligent machines.

• *Position description**

Our client is looking for an experienced

• *Backend Python Engineer**

to join their platform team working on a cutting-edge robotics platform powering next-generation autonomous systems.

The role focuses on building and maintaining a

• *distributed event-driven backend platform**

that enables real-world robots to operate, communicate, and perform complex tasks across industrial and healthcare environments. This is not a traditional HTTP-based backend role; the platform relies heavily on

• *real-time messaging, IoT-style architectures, and distributed systems**

.

The engineer will collaborate with robotics, AI, and infrastructure teams to support a rapidly growing fleet of intelligent robots deployed in production environments.

• *Your responsibilities include:
• Develop and maintain backend services that power a distributed robotics platform.
• Design and implement event-driven systems enabling communication between robots and platform services.
• Participate in architecture discussions and contribute to technical design decisions.
• Support internal engineering teams by reviewing code, discussing feature implementations, and troubleshooting platform issues.
• Maintain and improve core platform components and shared infrastructure services.
• Work closely with infrastructure and DevOps teams to ensure reliability and scalability of the platform.
• Test and validate platform features in real-world robotics environments.
• Investigate and resolve production issues, bugs, and system incidents.
• Participate in agile development processes including sprint planning and retrospectives.
• *For this role, you should have:
• Strong professional experience with
• *Python backend development**

.

• Solid understanding of
• *distributed systems and event-driven architectures**

.

• Experience working with
• *Linux-based systems**

.

• Good understanding of
• *concurrency patterns and system design principles**

.

• Ability to work effectively in collaborative engineering teams and contribute to code reviews.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to approach unfamiliar technologies with confidence.
• *Nice to have:
• Experience with
• *IoT systems or real-time messaging architectures

.

• Familiarity with technologies such as
• *NATS, Redis, WebSockets, or MQTT-style communication systems**

.

• Experience with
• *container orchestration and cloud infrastructure (e.g. Kubernetes)**

.

• Exposure to
• *infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Helm**

.

• Interest or experience in
• *robotics, AI systems, or autonomous technologies**

.

• *Ideal candidate**

The ideal candidate is a

• *curious, pragmatic engineer**

who enjoys solving complex system problems, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and working on technology that interacts with the physical world.
