At UKAD, we’re looking for an experienced Python Engineer who enjoys building real products, solving complex technical challenges, and taking ownership of solutions from idea to production. We’re a software engineering company with 300+ specialists and over 20 years of experience, working with clients across Europe and the US.
You’ll work closely with the client’s CTO and a small engineering team, where your technical decisions and contributions will have a direct impact on the product.
What you’ll do
Design, develop, and maintain production applications using Python, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.
Build scalable backend APIs, business logic, and database structures.
Develop modern, responsive frontend interfaces for data-intensive applications.
Take ownership of features across the entire stack, from database design to user experience.
Work with AWS infrastructure, including containerized applications, cloud services, and deployment pipelines.
Implement secure authentication, authorization, and data-access mechanisms.
Integrate AI-powered functionality into the product, including conversational interfaces and streaming responses.
Use AI coding assistants and agentic development tools to accelerate development, testing, and refactoring while maintaining high engineering standards.
Collaborate directly with the client’s technical team to understand requirements, challenge assumptions, and propose practical solutions.
Contribute to architecture decisions, code reviews, automated testing, and continuous improvement.
What we’re looking for
6+ years of professional software development experience, with proven senior-level engineering skills.
Strong commercial experience with Python and modern backend frameworks such as FastAPI or Django.
Solid hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, and modern frontend development.
Strong SQL skills and practical experience with PostgreSQL, including database design and optimization.
Experience building, deploying, and maintaining production applications on AWS.
Good understanding of REST APIs, authentication, security, and scalable application architecture.
Experience working with Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and code reviews.
Practical experience using AI-powered development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar).
Ability to independently investigate problems, make technical decisions, and deliver production-ready solutions.
Confident English communication and a proactive, product-oriented mindset.
Availability for at least 4 hours of daily overlap with US Central time.
We value engineers who understand not only how to implement a solution, but also why it matters to the business.
Nice to have
Experience with AWS ECS/Fargate, RDS, Cognito, and Terraform.
Experience with multi-tenant SaaS applications.
Familiarity with Amazon Bedrock, LLM integrations, or AI-powered product features.
Experience building applications that handle sensitive or regulated data.
Understanding of HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar security and compliance requirements.
Previous experience working in startups or small, fast-moving product teams.
