• You don't use Cursor, Claude Code or similar AI tools out of curiosity, but because they demonstrably make your development faster and better. • You understand how to use AI-assisted coding correctly: prompting, context management, iterative refinement — this comes naturally to you. • You have a solid Laravel foundation and know what clean PHP code looks like — even when AI writes the first draft. • You work with Vue.js and Inertia and build interfaces that delight users. • You're eager to help build an AI platform that solves real business problems — not just demos. • You want to join a team that combines speed, quality and an AI-first mindset.

Role Description We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for software engineers experienced in Python backend development, API integration, Docker-based environments, Linux workflows, service configuration, and structured application deployment. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on backend service development, sandbox application integration, MCP server implementation, local testing, technical debugging, and production-ready project execution. Selected professionals will apply their software engineering expertise to build stable services, integrate applications into structured environments, manage app state workflows, and support reliable technical deliverables. Key Responsibilities - Python Backend & MCP Server Development - Build backend services and MCP-style servers using Python and related frameworks. - Develop integrations that connect real software applications with structured sandbox environments. - Work with APIs, service endpoints, configuration files, and backend logic to support reliable app behavior. - Ensure technical implementations are stable, testable, maintainable, and aligned with project requirements. - Application Integration & Environment Setup - Integrate web or desktop applications into controlled technical environments. - Work with Docker, Linux systems, local development setups, service configuration, and deployment workflows. - Implement populate, snapshot, or state-management hooks to support repeatable app behavior. - Debug build issues, runtime errors, permission problems, dependency conflicts, and environment setup challenges. - Testing, Validation & Deployment Readiness - Test applications locally and verify expected functionality before deployment. - Review technical outputs against platform validation requirements, deployment criteria, and documented specifications. - Identify stability issues, configuration gaps, integration failures, and expected technical outcomes. - Maintain accuracy, consistency, and strong engineering judgment across submitted work. Qualifications - Strong Python development skills with experience building backend services, APIs, automation tools, or integration workflows. - Experience with Docker, Linux, local testing, debugging, and service configuration. - Familiarity with backend systems, API-based integrations, deployment pipelines, and application runtime environments. - Comfort working with configuration files, containerized systems, logs, build processes, and technical validation requirements. - Strong problem-solving skills and attention to technical detail. - Ability to work independently and communicate technical decisions clearly. Requirements - A degree or professional background in computer science, software engineering, information technology, computer engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field is helpful. - Equivalent practical experience in Python development, backend engineering, DevOps-adjacent workflows, app integration, or technical debugging is also highly relevant. Nice to Have - Experience with FastMCP, MCP servers, agent tooling, sandbox environments, or similar integration frameworks. - Experience integrating third-party applications, developer tools, web apps, desktop apps, databases, or internal technical systems. - Familiarity with containerized environments, Linux permissions, API authentication, local service orchestration, or deployment validation. - Experience preparing or reviewing technical documentation, setup guides, debug notes, service configs, or integration reports. - Strong attention to detail in backend-heavy, configuration-heavy, and testing-focused engineering environments. Why This Opportunity - Apply Python backend and application integration expertise to structured remote project work. - Contribute to high-quality service development, sandbox integration, testing, and deployment-ready technical workflows. - Work on flexible assignments aligned with your software engineering background. - Use your engineering judgment in a focused, detail-oriented technical environment. - Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation. Contract Details - Independent contractor role. - Fully remote with flexible scheduling. - Part-time commitment depending on project availability. - Competitive rates between $60–$80 per hour depending on expertise. - Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise. - Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance. - Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
