Senior Full-stack 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 experiencedSenior Full-stack Python Engineer (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.

Youll collaborate closely with other engineering teams to design and implement the interfaces and contracts that connect our platform to the wider system landscape.

Our current tech stack and toolset include:

• Python TypeScript Shell scripting
• Flask ReactPytest
• PostgreSQL Confluent KafkaDataDog
• AWS tools Terraform
• 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
• Work in an AI-augmented development workflow actively using code agents and AI assistants as a natural part of how you ship software
• 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

About You

• Academic background in Computer Science or equivalent
• 5 years of experience in backend software engineering with Python
• Experience with modern front-end stack (some basic front-end tasks are part of our scope)
• Experience applying clean architecture principles (hexagonal ports-and-adapters DDD) or similar approaches in production able to contribute from day one
• Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and event-driven systems (Kafka or similar)
• Strong experience in AI-augmented development actively using code agents or AI assistants in daily work
• Solid experience with containerization (Docker Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines
• Familiar with testing best practices: unit integration acceptance testing
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or similar) and infrastructure as code (Terraform)
• Familiarity with mathematical optimization or data-intensive applications is a plus

We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you dont meet 100% of the requirements we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
