Senior Backend Python Engineer

Senior Backend Python Engineer (UK-based (remote), ~£130-150K + perks)
Join a fast-growing sports-tech success story and take real ownership of the systems that power live-event traffic at scale.

This isn't a ticket-taker Back End role. You'll own your services end-to-end - designing them, shipping them, and keeping them running in production. You'll shape the architecture, drive key technical decisions, and have genuine autonomy to build the platform the right way. 

What you'll be doing:
Leading Back End development across event-driven, high-availability systems
Owning cloud infrastructure across AWS & GCP
Building with Python (FastAPI or similar), Postgres, and Redis
Designing clean, versioned, backwards-compatible APIs
Driving CI/CD and observability for systems that can't afford downtime during live events 

What we're looking for:
Hands-on experience running real production workloads on AWS - not just deploying to it
Strong Postgres/SQL skills: schema design, query tuning, migrations
Solid API design chops: clear contracts, versioning, backwards compatibility
Python-first mindset (FastAPI or similar)
Redis experience: caching patterns, invalidation, pub/sub
Comfort owning and operating your own services in CI/CD 

Fully remote within the UK, with monthly in-person engineering get-togethers to keep the team connected. 
Circa £130-150K + generous perks.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love building from the ground up, and want real influence over a platform's future - let's talk.
