Python Developer

Job Description A client is looking for a Software Engineer to join a small, collaborative product team focused on modernizing critical aviation software. This engineer will work across the full software development lifecycle, including design, development, testing, deployment, integration, and production support.

A major focus of this role is using AI-assisted development and coding agents within real production environments. The ideal candidate is a strong software engineer who can break down complex problems, effectively direct AI coding tools, evaluate generated code, and ensure solutions meet production standards for quality, security, maintainability, and reliability.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and support production software.
• Modernize and integrate software within complex existing systems.
• Use AI coding agents for development, refactoring, debugging, testing, migrations, and codebase exploration.
• Break ambiguous requirements into clear technical tasks, acceptance criteria, and deliverables.
• Review and validate AI-generated code for quality, architecture, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Build appropriate automated testing and verification around software changes.
• Work within cloud environments and established CI/CD processes.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and architectural tradeoffs.
• Participate in code reviews, production support, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Must-Haves

• Strong software engineering experience with Python or another general-purpose programming language .
• Experience designing, developing, and supporting production software .
• Hands-on experience using coding agents or AI-assisted development tools to make meaningful changes within real software systems.
• Ability to break down complex or ambiguous engineering problems into structured development tasks.
• Experience reviewing and improving AI-generated code rather than relying on generated output without validation.
• Strong understanding of testing, CI/CD, observability, security, source control, and production operations .
• Experience working in cloud environments and integrating with existing systems.
• Strong technical judgment and communication skills.

Plusses

• Experience building or improving agentic software development workflows .
• Experience coordinating multiple coding agents or using agents for larger refactors and migrations.
• Experience modernizing complex or legacy production systems.
• Full-stack or multi-layer software development experience.
• Experience within regulated, safety-critical, or high-reliability environments.
• Aviation software experience or aviation-domain knowledge.
