Kforce has a client in Houston, TX that is seeking a Senior Python Developer to join a dynamic team. The role will start at the end of Q3. Candidates must be located or willing to relocate to Houston, TX for an onsite position.
Summary:
The ideal candidate should be able to work independently with minimal supervision and bring a strong technical background in software development, beyond just scripting. This is a leadership-focused role, requiring experience in architectural design, mentoring, and stakeholder engagement.
Key Responsibilities:
* Senior Python Developer will lead and execute development efforts for Python-based applications and services
* Design and implement solutions using distributed asynchronous systems to avoid data conflicts in immutable environments orchestrated across multiple machines
* Mentor junior developers, providing technical guidance and fostering a collaborative team environment
* Collaborate with stakeholders to define system requirements and ensure alignment with business goals
* As a Senior Python Developer, you will optimize software performance and reliability, focusing on scalability and cloud-native solutions
* Work with a modern tech stack including Kubernetes (via Docker), Kafka, Azure, and GitHub
* Contribute to architectural decisions and improvements in the overall system design
REQUIREMENTS:
* Mastery in Python development (beyond scripting) and software construction
* Strong experience in multiprocessing and cloud-native development
* Deep understanding of distributed asynchronous systems and architectural design
* Experience working in Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, Azure, and GitHub
* Proven ability to design solutions that avoid data conflicts in distributed systems
* Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work autonomously
* Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
* Experience in mentoring and guiding junior team members
* Adaptability to evolving technologies and a focus on delivering business value
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience in the energy sector is a plus, but not mandatory
* A financial background is beneficial, but not required
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
