Senior Python Developer Service

Excited to work on a project for a key player in the energy landscape? The Belgian, German and European energy landscape is in full swing. Did you know that the organization plays a crucial role in this? As part of the organization, a European transmission system operator, the Belgian and German branches ensure the reliability and sustainability of the electricity supply in both countries. Side-by-side with other Contingent Workers and internal staff, you will play a part in building a sustainable, green and reliable energy infrastructure that stimulates economic growth and reduces our ecological footprint.

As a Senior Python Developer, you will be instrumental in architecting, developing, and maintaining resilient software solutions essential to the organization’s core business activities. You will work hand-in-hand with multidisciplinary teams to deliver reliable, high-performing applications while fostering the continuous enhancement of technical standards.

You will join the organization’s Chapter Development community, an environment that brings together developers from across the organization, collaborating on a variety of technology stacks.

Your main assignment will center around the internal monitoring platform, which is dedicated to monitoring and maintaining application health. The internal monitoring facilitates the implementation and management of sophisticated synthetic and log checks for live applications, ensuring timely information about their operational status and coordinating swift notification to relevant personnel whenever intervention is warranted.

At the heart the platform lie the monitoring and alerting engines, both developed in Python, alongside all associated monitoring scripts. Your skills and experience will be pivotal to the ongoing evolution and reliability of this solution.
