Backend Python Developer (Azure AI)
Location: Remote / Hybrid
Type: Full-time
Our client is a fast-growing consulting business building an AI-driven platform on native Microsoft Azure services. They are looking for a strong Backend Python Developer to join their team and play a key role in delivering scalable, AI-first solutions used for business automation, workflows, and intelligent agents.
This is an opportunity to work in a lean, high-impact environment where speed, quality, and innovation matter.
The Role
The successful candidate will:
* Design, build, and maintain backend services in Python, writing clean, maintainable, production-grade code.
* Develop and deploy AI-powered features using Azure-native services including Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB, Docker, and AKS.
* Architect and implement scalable, cloud-native solutions.
* Work within tight development cycles — branch, commit, test, and ship via GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines.
* Write comprehensive unit tests and contribute to high code quality standards.
* Collaborate within agile sprints and contribute to technical design decisions.
The Ideal Candidate
Our client is seeking someone with:
* Strong commercial experience in Python backend development.
* Experience building APIs and working with cloud-native architectures.
* Solid understanding of Docker, Kubernetes, and scalable distributed systems.
* Experience using GitHub for version control, pull requests, and CI/CD workflows.
* An agile mindset and the confidence to work in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
Desirable Experience
* Exposure to Azure’s AI ecosystem (AI Foundry, AI Search, Cosmos DB, AKS).
* Experience integrating AI/LLM-based services into production systems.
* Familiarity with modern development tooling such as VS Code and AI-assisted coding tools.
Why Apply?
* Work on a genuinely AI-first product with real-world commercial impact.
* Join a collaborative, technically strong team with minimal red tape.
* Remote flexibility with a culture focused on delivery, ownership, and innovation.
If you are a backend Python developer who enjoys building intelligent, scalable systems in Azure and wants to work at the forefront of applied AI, this opportunity is worth exploring
