Summary

Technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) – Python

The Python Technical SME is the ultimate technical escalation point and hands-on "Strike Team" lead for the Python language pod. This is a heavy Backend Coding and Refactoring role focused on resolving complex dynamic language failures, strict version incompatibilities, and critical API breaking changes across large-scale Python codebases. The SME intervenes when automated migration scripts fail, ensuring application stability during major dependency and runtime upgrades.
Detailed JD & Responsibilities
Core Responsibilities

Hands-On Hardcore Refactoring: Resolve subtle runtime type errors, dynamic import issues, and breaking changes introduced by major library version bumps across large Python codebases.
Resolving Dependency Conflicts: Deeply analyze hierarchical pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, and setup configurations to resolve transitive dependency deadlocks.
Custom Patching Management: Debug and merge historical custom overrides and patches to align with clean upstream package releases.
Architectural Conversions: Execute multi-version layout migrations and structure clean boundaries for shared internal Python libraries.
C-Extension & FFI Auditing: Manage and refactor complex Python-to-C/C++ bindings, addressing memory management and interpreter overhead during upgrades.
