We are hiring for one of our clients seeking experienced Python Software Engineers to support a model-training initiative with a leading AI research organization.
This role is designed for engineers who have built and maintained complex, production-grade Python systems — not just scripts or notebooks, but scalable services, tools, or frameworks deployed in real-world environments.
Role Overview
You will contribute to structured model-training workflows that require deep Python expertise, strong software architecture fundamentals, and the ability to reason clearly about code quality, performance, and maintainability.
This is a high-signal engagement intended for experienced engineers comfortable with technical interviews and rigorous evaluation.

- Strong understanding of Python language internals and advanced features
- Demonstrated ability to architect modular, testable, maintainable codebases
- Experience with modern Python tooling and frameworks
- Background contributing to large-scale or high-visibility software systems
Required Technical Skills
- Advanced Python features (decorators, generators, async/await, context managers)
- Performance tuning (profiling, memory optimization, runtime efficiency)
- API development (e.g., FastAPI or similar frameworks)
- Data validation frameworks (e.g., Pydantic or similar tools)
- Type hints and static typing best practices
- Dependency injection patterns
- Unit and integration testing frameworks
- Code organization and modular design principles
Interview Process
- 90-minute live technical interview conducted by an engineer
- Focused entirely on Python fundamentals and applied engineering reasoning
- You may use standard documentation or reference materials
- Decisions are typically communicated within two weeks
Engagement Details
- Approximately 20 hours per week commitment
- Initial contract duration of at least one month
- Strong contributors may receive opportunities for future projects
- Fully remote with flexible scheduling
Compensation
- $100 per hour, depending on experience and interview performance
- Weekly payments via supported platforms
