Python Developer - Contract

We’re seeking a hands-on Python Developer to join a team focused on building and scaling data-driven applications.

This is a high-impact, developer first role. The ideal candidate will take ownership, solve complex problems, improving legacy systems, and turning data-heavy workflows into scalable, production-ready solutions.

Responsibilities 

• Design, build, and maintain scalable Python applications (writing code to scale not just scripts)
• Write efficient, high-performance code, particularly when working with large datasets
• Utilize libraries such as Pandas and NumPy, with a focus on performance optimization techniques like vectorization
• Apply object-oriented programming principles and design patterns to create maintainable systems
• Integrate with databases, APIs, and service-based architectures
• Troubleshoot, refactor, and enhance existing solutions to improve speed, reliability, and scalability
• Enhancing and modernizing Python-based applications, including addressing legacy challenges and inefficiencies
• Supporting the evolution of internal tools and workflows, including integrations with modern collaboration platforms
• Partnering with business and technical stakeholders to understand workflows and scale solutions
• Optimizing data-intensive processes for performance, efficiency, and scalability
• Transforming prototype or ad hoc solutions into structured, reusable applications

• Strong hands-on experience with Python (back-end development focus)
• Experience working with Pandas and large datasets
• Familiarity with NumPy and performance optimization approaches
• Solid understanding of object-oriented programming and software design patterns
• Experience with relational databases
