Senior Backend Python Engineer (UK-based (remote), £130-150K + perks)
Join a fast-growing sports-tech success story and take real ownership of the systems that power live-event traffic at scale.
This isn't a "ticket-taker" backend role. You'll own your services end-to-end - designing them, shipping them, and keeping them running in production. You'll shape the architecture, drive key technical decisions, and have genuine autonomy to build the platform the right way.
What you'll be doing:
• Leading backend development across event-driven, high-availability systems
• Owning cloud infrastructure across AWS & GCP
• Building with Python (FastAPI or similar), Postgres, and Redis
• Designing clean, versioned, backwards-compatible APIs
• Driving CI/CD and observability for systems that can't afford downtime during live events
? What we're looking for:
• Hands-on experience running real production workloads on AWS - not just deploying to it
• Strong Postgres/SQL skills: schema design, query tuning, migrations
• Solid API design chops: clear contracts, versioning, backwards compatibility
• Python-first mindset (FastAPI or similar)
• Redis experience: caching patterns, invalidation, pub/sub
• Comfort owning and operating your own services in CI/CD
Fully remote within the UK, with monthly in-person engineering get-togethers to keep the team connected.
Circa £130-150K + generous perks.
If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love building from the ground up, and want real influence over a platform's future - let's talk.
