Senior Python Engineer, Customer Value Track

PandaDoc is seeking a Senior Python Engineer to join our Customer Value Track.
Are you adaptable, driven, and friendly? Do you thrive in a fast-paced work environment where collaboration is a must? If the answer is yes, you’re a Panda, and we want you to join our team.
Customer Value Track designs and delivers complete end-to-end solutions in our Product so we can unlock new markets and bring new happy customers to PandaDoc!

In this role, you will:

• Collaborate with Engineers, Product Managers, Product Designers and Analysts across PandaDoc to create positive customer impact together.
• Write clean, self-explainable testable, production-ready code considering all non-functional requirements and limitations (scalability, performance, etc).
• Follow a feature through its entire lifetime from problem formulation to solution delivery.
• Use quality metrics to identify gaps and define targets for their team deliverables.
• Improve our internal processes and documentation.

Our stack:

• Service-oriented architecture but be prepared to deal with legacy code as well as monolithic services based on the Django framework;
• Two main stacks: Python and Java:
• Python services are mostly written using AsyncIO frameworks and libraries, but we also have Django-based services and a lot of Celery workloads;
• Java services based on Spring Boot with custom extensions, Java 21, and Gradle as a build tool;
• AWS and K8S are used extensively for provisioning and deploying workloads;
• The main cross-service communication transports:
• NATS is our main RPC transport, but we’re migrating to gRPC to eliminate the single point of failure with NATS
• Kafka and Debezium for event-based operations
• RabbitMQ is a transport for Celery, but we look forward to migrating to Temporal.io
• Temporal.io as a new promising solution
• LGTM stack and Sentry for monitoring, alerting, and distributed tracing

About you:

• At least 5+ years of development experience with Python;
• Care about quality and you know what it means to ship high-quality code;
• Experience with the Django framework;
• Experience with microservice-based architectures;
• Experience with any relational databases (SQL queries, migrations, optimization);
• Experience with message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, NATS, Kafka);
• Put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great experiences;
• Strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to product managers, designers, customer support, and other engineers is no problem for you;
• Experience in software and API design is a must;
• Communicate effectively in English, both spoken and written;
• We have tasks in Java from time to time (about 10%), so readiness to write in Java is appreciated.
• Willingness to engage and contribute with our frontend projects is a plus.
