Senior Backend Developer (Python)

About the role Pilots rely on navigation data that is correct every time it is published. We are building the next generation of the AWS backend that produces that data: the services that assemble aeronautical navigation files and deliver them to airlines and avionics manufacturers in the formats their systems can read. The hard part is volume against a deadline.

The system has to produce several hundred large files inside a short window, every publication cycle, without failing. You will work on the architecture that makes that hold: how the work is distributed, what happens when something breaks mid-run, and how the whole thing scales when new product types are added. You will not be building this alone.

Several component teams own different parts of the pipeline, so a good share of the work is designing clean integration points and getting them to work together.

Design scalable and resilient backend architecture that can support growth, high processing volumes, and new products with minimal engineering effort. Apply cloud security best practices across services, infrastructure, automation, access control, and deployment processes. Identify and mitigate risks, issues, and technical debt in backend services and cloud infrastructure.

Collaborate with other component teams for integration activities. Document technical decisions, risks, and operational procedures so other teams can act on them. Required qualifications Production experience developing with
