Senior Python Engineer (mfd) Network Planning

At Flix we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact with competitive paystrong growthopportunities and a culture of collaboration and ownership.

Werelooking for an experiencedSeniorPythonEngineer (m/f/d)to joinour Supply impact bytakingownership of core backend systems that power our network planning optimization product. Your workwilldirectly supportnetwork planners in scheduling vehicles drivers and timetables improving travel experiences for millions of passengers while driving profitability.

Our team builds andmaintainsan optimization platform addressing use cases from vehicle and driver scheduling to timetable optimization. We follow modern system design Domain-Driven Design Hexagonal Architecture and SOLID principles with strict architectural boundaries enforced by tooling. Our backend workloads (APIs event consumers Kubernetes jobs) are built to scale with high code quality standards.

The products algorithm engine is developed by Operations Research Engineers using mathematical optimization. As a Senior Python Engineer you will own the engineering shell around these algorithms: the APIs use cases data pipelines infrastructure and the domain models that connect optimization output to the rest of the system.

Our current tech stack and toolset include:

• Python TypeScript Shell scripting
• Flask ReactPytest

• Amazon RDS/S3/CloudFront/SecretsManager Terraform (Terragrunt)
• GitLab Kubernetes Docker Azure AD

About the Role

• Own and evolve the backend: APIs use case layer domain models serialization and event-driven pipelines (Kafka)
• Take engineering ownership of new product modules designing the architectural scaffold wiring layers and ensuring clean boundaries
• Build and maintain infrastructure: Kubernetes deployments CI/CD pipelines and cloud resources (AWS)
• Collaborate closely with Operations Research Engineers to integrate optimization algorithms into the product
• Contribute to architecture decisions and uphold code quality through reviews testing and continuous improvement
• Write well-tested self-documenting code following hexagonal architecture patterns
• Share your expertise and mentor colleagues promoting a culture of knowledge sharing and learning
• Work in an AI-augmented development workflow actively using code agents and AI assistants as a natural part of how you ship software
