Python Developer, UK


Role Summary:

The role of Python Developer will be part of Battenhall’s Innovation team, which is focussed on new product development and continuous improvement of both external and internal products and services. We identify opportunities to solve problems and deliver greater value to both our internal teams and our customers. This means that sometimes we work on small, discrete projects that go from conception to deployment within a month, and at other times we work on large scale SaaS products that have a lifespan of years.

The role of Python Developer will have a primary focus of accelerating the development of our flagship product, which hinges on getting data out of social platforms efficiently, storing it, wrangling it, and making it available to the front end. As such, experience as a back-end developer, a data engineer or a data pipeline specialist with experience in Python would also be considered.

This is an exciting time to join this growing team, with huge opportunities for personal growth and career development as an early team member.


Responsibilities:

Business logic and core systems:

  • Develop the underlying business logic and infrastructure that brings together the frontend customer journey, third party data and proprietary business logic to create a distinctive experience.
  • Develop an optimised API for our front end to make efficient calls to, involving wrangling data and ensuring it is available in the final parsed format for UI display.
  • Create custom data loaders to import and abstract third-party data into a universal and scalable system.


Data Pipelines:

  • Maintain, improve, and create data pipelines between social platforms’ APIs (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Threads) and our Postgres database.
  • Use tools such as Dagster, Fivetran, and Big Query to ensure efficient data flow and processing.


Database Management / Efficiency:

  • Enhance the performance of queries to the database.
  • Ensure data integrity and optimise database operations.


Data Processing

  • Provide better access to summarised data via RPC functions or similar approaches.
  • Implement efficient data wrangling processes to transform raw data into valuable insights.


Development of AI capabilities

  • Use of AI models to augment the core data systems and provide enhanced data for internal and external customers


Skills and qualifications:

  • Minimum of 4 years of experience in a similar role/s.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure that enables rapid prototyping and publishing.
  • Experience with Python-based ETL tools (eg Dagster, Airflow), Postgres (hosted or via a DBaaS like Supabase), and cloud data (eg Big Query, Snowflake) is desirable.
  • Experience with NextJS and TypeScript would be considered ideal.
  • Strong communication and teamwork abilities to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical team members.
  • Enthusiasm for a startup-like environment, with a willingness to adapt and innovate.
  • Ability to work independently and manage time efficiently.
  • Experience in line management or team leading is a plus but not essential.
