Python Developer - Code Quality and Standards

Overview

Our client, a rapidly growing internet service provider, is seeking a Python Developer with an emphasis on code quality to join their development team. This is a long term 1099 contract position.

What You'll Do

Your primary focus is reviewing pull requests and ensuring the development team follows best practices and coding standards. You'll work in GitHub, approving PRs and providing constructive feedback to help developers write cleaner, more maintainable code. This isn't test automation or UAT - it's production code review. You'll collaborate with the team to refine and improve standards over time. There's also opportunity to contribute code alongside review work, giving you variety beyond pure review.

The Tech Stack

• Python (Django, FastAPI)
• SQLAlchemy
• REST/SOAP API clients
• Kafka
• PostgreSQL and other standard infrastructure

The Environment

The team is building out formal QA processes as they scale. Management is hands-off and trusts developers to own their domain. Your coworkers are collaborative, skilled, and appreciate someone who helps them level up.

What We're Looking For

• Strong Python expertise with an eye for clean code
• Experience reviewing code and providing constructive feedback
• Understanding of software development best practices
• Networking or telecom background helpful but not required
• Good communication skills - you're teaching, not just gatekeeping

Compensation

Rate is negotiable based on experience. Submit your proposed hourly rate with your application.
