Python Infrastructure Developer
**Fulltime Role - 3 days per week onsite in Dublin 2**
Build next-generation infrastructure tooling that scales with complexity and ambition.
Are you a systems-minded software engineer with a passion for automation, deep technical ownership, and building developer-centric tools? We’re looking for a Python Infrastructure Developer to join a high-impact team shaping the foundations of platform engineering and automation at scale.
This role is part of a global infrastructure engineering team working across the stack, from low-level orchestration to backend APIs and event-driven systems. You'll focus on designing and developing self-service tools and highly reliable infrastructure systems that enable internal engineering teams to move faster, safer, and more autonomously.
The environment is dynamic and engineering-led, where curiosity, pragmatism, and clean design are deeply valued. You’ll have wide access and ownership to improve core systems, reduce operational toil, and solve meaningful platform problems — not tickets.
What You’ll Do
* Design and build infrastructure automation systems end-to-end, with a strong emphasis on reusability and scalability.
* Develop backend APIs, CLIs, and Python packages that enable self-service and improve the developer experience.
* Implement orchestration layers on top of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, SaltStack, or Ansible.
* Own the lifecycle of infrastructure systems, from development and testing to deployment and long-term maintenance.
* Participate in the design and implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automation workflows.
* Conduct thoughtful code reviews and uphold engineering best practices.
* Collaborate asynchronously with a globally distributed team while maintaining strong technical alignment.
* Continuously identify opportunities to reduce friction and drive automation in infrastructure workflows.
What You Bring
* Strong background as an Infrastructure Developer, Systems Engineer, or Software Engineer focused on automation and backend tooling.
* Expertise in Python and its application in infrastructure and systems programming.
* Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Ansible, SaltStack, or Terraform.
* Proven ability to design and build backend services, APIs, and event-driven systems.
* Experience with distributed system architecture and operating at scale.
* Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
* Clear communication skills, capable of articulating technical concepts to both developers and stakeholders.
* High attention to detail and a mindset geared toward quality, resilience, and continuous improvement.
* Natural curiosity and drive to explore emerging technologies and adopt the best tool for the job.
Who Thrives Here
* Engineers who love building tools for other engineers, focusing on developer productivity and internal platform excellence.
* People who are not afraid of diving deep across the stack to solve infrastructure bottlenecks.
* Those who value ownership, autonomy, and working in a lean, low-bureaucracy environment.
* Thinkers who balance long-term architectural thinking with fast iterations and pragmatic delivery.
* Colleagues who enjoy async collaboration and working across time zones with a distributed team.
