Senior Software Engineer (Python) - Remote from Bulgaria

Job Description:

We are AML RightSource, the leading technology-enabled managed services firm focused on fighting financial crime for our clients and the world. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, and operating across the globe, we are a trusted partner to our financial institution, FinTech, money service business, and corporate clients.

Using a blend of highly trained anti-financial crime professionals, cutting-edge technology tools, and industry-leading consultants, we help clients with their AML/BSA, transaction monitoring, client onboarding (KYC), enhanced due diligence (EDD), and risk management needs.

We support clients in meeting day-to-day compliance tasks, urgent projects, and strategic changes. Globally, our staff of more than 4,000 highly trained analysts and subject matter experts is the industry's largest group of full-time compliance professionals. Together with our clients, we are Reimagining Compliance.

About the Position

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be building and maintaining the services that make up our product suite. This will be a mix of entirely new development, alongside extending and improving existing products that have a real impact on our customers' businesses; right now, the balance is in favour of new development.

Our tech stack:

• Python 3.11 (with typing) is used in the new services, along with some older versions in legacy systems.
• Our own micro-framework is built on the top of Werkzeug.
• Postgres in almost all services. We care a lot about database performance and don’t use any ORM.
• AWS for infrastructure and various AWS services such as S3, SQS, EventBridge, ElasticCache, OpenSearch, EKS, etc.
• Test coverage close to 100% (predominately functional tests).
• Splunk, Sentry and Grafana for logs and observability.

Primary Responsibilities

• As a senior engineer, while you’ll be an individual contributor, you’ll have an impact that extends beyond the code you write.
• You’ll be creating, articulating, and simplifying designs.
• Providing thoughtful code review (of substance, not style), and supporting other developers.
• You’ll own the quality of the work you ship: writing thorough tests, being mindful of the long-term impact of design decisions, simplifying wherever possible

Required Qualifications

• Mid-to-senior-level experience in Python, or some combination of experience and demonstrated ability that gives us confidence that you’ll be making senior-level contributions in Python by the end of your on-boarding period.
• Experience with PostgreSQL (or a comparable RDBMS), including database design and performance optimization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building service-based systems (microservices, SOA, or anything in between: we aren’t fashion-conscious) using HTTP and message passing.
• Experience developing software to run on AWS (or a similar cloud platform).
• Experience with ElasticSearch/OpenSearch.
