Senior Python Engineer - Connectors & Performance

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-performance Python connectors used in both desktop and cloud environments
• Make architectural decisions that prioritize performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Integrate complex third-party APIs (rate limits, retries, authentication flows, pagination, edge cases)
• Diagnose and resolve production issues that require deep system understanding
• Improve internal standards around code quality, testing, and performance benchmarking
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver robust end-to-end solutions
• You won't just ship features - you'll shape how we build reliable integrations long-term.

Requirements

• You've spent 5+ years writing Python in production systems
• You understand API integration beyond "it works locally"
• You think about retries, idempotency, observability, and backoff strategies
• You care about performance at both code and system levels
• You're comfortable working across desktop and cloud environments
• You value clarity over cleverness
• Experience with gRPC and protobuf
• Experience with Microsoft Graph APIs
• Familiarity with Docker and GitLab CI
• Experience building systems that run in both desktop and cloud contexts
• This position involves access to software/technology that is subject to U.S. export controls. Any job offer made will be contingent upon the applicant's capacity to serve in compliance with U.S. export controls.
