Python Engineer - Real-Time Distributed Systems
Remote - Australia-based onlyFull Australian work rights requiredSalary negotiable to $150k + Super + Performance Bonus
Engineering Without Theatre
We design and operate low-latency, distributed systems that ingest real-time data, execute automated logic and manage risk in fast-moving electronic markets.
Performance is measurable.Failure is visible.Correctness matters.
You will build and operate production systems that run continuously under real-world constraints. This is core infrastructure, not feature churn.
What You'll Do
* Build high-performance Python services supporting real-time workflows
* Design and optimise event-driven data pipelines with strict latency targets
* Deploy and operate containerised services in production across public cloud environments
* Build internal tools, APIs and dashboards used by technical stakeholders
* Improve CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks and release safety
* Monitor live systems and resolve production issues methodically
* Write clean, well-tested and well-documented code
Ownership is end-to-end. If it runs in production, you care about how it behaves.
Technology Environment
You'll be working primarily in Python within a containerised, Kubernetes-based environment deployed across major public cloud platforms.
Our systems rely on:
* Event-driven messaging and streaming architectures
* Relational and time-series data stores
* Infrastructure-as-code and Git-based deployment workflows
* Production-grade monitoring and alerting tooling
We operate real-time services with strict latency and reliability expectations, so performance tuning and observability are part of everyday engineering.
Core Requirements
* 4+ years professional Python development experience
* Strong understanding of distributed systems and concurrency
* Experience operating containerised workloads in production
* Hands-on experience with public cloud infrastructure
* Experience building or running real-time or high-throughput systems
The Details
* Remote role - must be based in Australia
* Full Australian work rights required
* Salary negotiable to $150k + Super + performance-based bonus
* Flexible working arrangements
* Learning budget and modern tooling
If this sounds aligned with the kind of systems you enjoy building, send through your CV or a short note outlining the environments you've worked in. All conversations are handled confidentially.
