Position Summary
The Junior Python Engineer will play a hands-on role in supporting and evolving the software ecosystem behind Altumint’s device fleet and operational platforms. The position is heavily centered in Python development and offers broad exposure across backend engineering, DevOps, embedded Linux environments, infrastructure tooling, device management, and operational support.
A key initiative for this role will involve modernizing legacy internal management tools into a centralized, web-based operations portal using FastAPI and related technologies.

This position offers a strong growth opportunity within a collaborative engineering environment. New team members will receive structured onboarding and mentorship, beginning with issue resolution and operational support before expanding into feature development and platform enhancement initiatives.

· Support software deployments, system updates, and operational monitoring across distributed device fleets.
· Troubleshoot production issues and collaborate with engineering and operations teams to implement sustainable solutions.
DevOps, Infrastructure & Security
· Support CI/CD pipeline improvements, automated deployment processes, and build tooling initiatives.
· Assist with Linux-based infrastructure tasks, provisioning automation, and device hardening activities.
· Participate in operational security and compliance-related initiatives as needed.
Quality & Collaboration
· Write and maintain unit and integration tests for new and existing functionality.
· Collaborate cross-functionally with QA, operations, implementation, and engineering teams to ensure solutions align with operational and customer requirements.
· Contribute to continuous improvement efforts across engineering processes, tooling, and system reliability.
Qualifications
Required:
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline — or equivalent practical experience.
· Proficiency in Python with the ability to write organized, readable, and maintainable code.
· Foundational understanding of web application development, REST APIs, and concepts.
