Location: Remote (U.S.), with willingness to relocate for client engagements | Type: Contract (W2)
Integration Architects places senior engineers on contract engagements with our client companies. We are building a marketed roster of Python talent we can match to client projects as they come up. This is a bench representation role. You come on board, we actively market your profile to our clients, and compensation begins when you are placed on an engagement. This is not a salaried seat, so you remain free to pursue other opportunities while we work to place you. If you are looking for one permanent role, this is not it. If you want a firm that has a stake in keeping you placed and billing, and that markets you and then gets out of your way, keep reading.
You will design and build scalable backend services and APIs for our enterprise clients.
What you will do
- Design and develop RESTful APIs and backend services
- Own features end to end, from design through production
- Optimize performance, scalability, and reliability across distributed systems
- Integrate with databases, message queues, and third-party APIs
- Mentor on code quality, testing, and architecture
What you bring
- 12+ years building production Python systems
- Strong backend framework experience with Django, FastAPI, or Flask
- Solid SQL and relational database design, plus ORM proficiency
- Cloud deployment experience (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) and containerization with Docker
- Strong testing discipline (PyTest, integration testing) and CI/CD familiarity
- Experience integrating AI and GenAI services into applications is a plus
- Willingness to relocate for a client engagement when required
How we work
- You are placed on contract engagements with our clients, not parked in one fixed role
- We market your profile. When a client need matches, we move fast, and you move fast with us
- Compensation begins when you are placed on a client engagement, not before
- You respond quickly, communicate clearly, and can stand in front of a client without hand-holding
- Low-drama, self-directed, gets it done. If you need a lot of managing, this is not your spot
