Summary

Job Title :- Python Developer 

Location :- San Jose, CA

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.

  • 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.
