Senior Python Engineer x 2

Overview

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who wants to stay technical while working on a complex, production-critical platform.

You'll be joining an established product team during a major v1 → v2 re-platforming phase, focused on scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

The work is backend-heavy, pragmatic, and delivery-focused.

What you'll be working on

  • Python-based backend services and APIs (Flask)

  • ETL pipelines ingesting high-volume data

  • PostgreSQL data persistence and Elasticsearch search/indexing

  • Contributing to a large-scale product rewrite

  • Building reliable, production-ready systems used in real legal cases

What they're looking for

  • Strong commercial Python experience

  • Solid backend engineering fundamentals

  • Comfortable working autonomously in a remote-first team

  • Clear communicator who flags risks early

  • Not a people-management role - this stays technical

Nice to have

  • Elasticsearch experience

  • Exposure to Kubernetes or containerised environments

The appeal

  • Real product, real users, real scale

  • High trust and autonomy

  • Clear roadmap and long-term technical investment

I’ve worked at Corecom since 2018 and I’ve loved every minute of it. The atmosphere is different to any other environment I’ve been in before and it’s really a place where you can get on without any of the classic recruitment stereotypes. I’m a big believer in the fact that if you enjoy coming to work then you’ll never need to be encouraged to perform and that’s exactly the case at Corecom.
