Role Description The Device Passport team at Apkudo is responsible for building and operating systems that give every device a trusted, verifiable identity throughout its lifecycle. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own significant technical surface area within our Python-based platform, drive architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and help us scale the Device Passport platform reliably across an expanding partner base. Our team is agile, and our days and duties can vary, requiring flexibility and adaptability. - Focus on correctness, scalability, and long-term maintainability. - Work on critical Python-based systems that underpin the Device Passport platform. - Lead the design and delivery of complex features and partner integrations. - Use Python, PostgreSQL, and related tooling to enhance system speed and platform reliability. - Collaborate across a cross-functional, distributed team. Qualifications - Deep, hands-on Python expertise as a primary production language, including testing practices, packaging, performance tuning, and code organization at scale. - Strong PostgreSQL experience, including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling. - AWS Cloud or equivalent cloud platform experience, with a focus on scalability and reliability. - Experience designing and maintaining RESTful APIs consumed by external partners or enterprise customers. - Excellent problem-solving instincts, with an eye for systemic issues rather than just immediate fixes. - Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complexity for both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or relevant experience in software engineering. Requirements - Architect and implement critical Python-based systems that underpin the Device Passport platform, with an emphasis on correctness, scalability, and long-term maintainability. - Lead the design and delivery of complex features and partner integrations, from technical scoping through production deployment. - Use Python, PostgreSQL, and related tooling to enhance system speed, preserve API consistency, enforce data integrity, and improve platform reliability. - Define and uphold engineering standards through rigorous code review, technical design documentation, and active knowledge-sharing across the team. - Collaborate across a cross-functional, distributed team to translate partner requirements into durable technical solutions. - Identify systemic risks, propose trade-offs clearly, and drive resolution of ambiguous technical problems with limited oversight. - Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, design feedback, and constructive code review. - Work in an Ubuntu/Linux desktop environment and have experience with AWS Cloud or equivalent cloud platform.
