We are looking for a highly experienced Python Developer / Integration Lead with strong Google Cloud Platform (GCP) expertise to lead and execute complex integration deliverables. This role requires a hands-on technical leader who can operate at both the solution architecture and implementation level .

The ideal candidate will have the maturity to work with business and technical stakeholders, drive integration architecture and technical decisions, and at the same time remain hands-on with the code, development, troubleshooting, and deployment activities . This is not a pure people-management or architecture role—the candidate will be expected to personally contribute to the heavy lifting required to deliver critical integration solutions.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the design, development, and delivery of complex integration solutions using Python and GCP .
- Act as a technical lead/SME for integration architecture, design patterns, development standards, and cloud-native solutions.
- Remain hands-on with keyboard , contributing directly to Python development, integration development, troubleshooting, code reviews, and technical implementation.
- Own the end-to-end delivery of integration components, from technical design through development, testing, deployment, and production support.
- Design and implement scalable, secure, highly available, and resilient integration solutions on GCP .
- Develop RESTful APIs, microservices, event-driven integrations, data-processing services, and cloud-native applications using Python.
- Work extensively with GCP services such as Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, API Gateway, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Dataflow, Secret Manager, IAM, and Cloud Scheduler .
- Design and implement synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns using APIs, messaging, events, and batch processing.
- Develop reusable integration frameworks, utilities, libraries, and automation components using Python.
- Integrate applications, APIs, databases, SaaS platforms, and enterprise systems across cloud and hybrid environments.
- Perform hands-on debugging, performance tuning, root-cause analysis, and production issue resolution.
- Establish and enforce coding standards, development best practices, CI/CD processes, security practices, and integration design standards.




- Review technical designs and code while actively participating in development rather than functioning solely as an architect or reviewer.
- Mentor developers and provide technical direction while continuing to contribute to critical development deliverables.
- Collaborate with architects, engineering teams, product owners, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
- Lead technical discussions, estimation, planning, and delivery for integration workstreams.
- Support DevOps and CI/CD implementation using tools such as Git, GitHub/GitLab, Jenkins, Cloud Build, Terraform , or equivalent technologies.
- Ensure solutions meet enterprise requirements for security, scalability, observability, reliability, and maintainability.

Required Technical Skills

Python

- 10+ years of strong hands-on experience with Python development .
- Strong experience with Python frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django .
- Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, design patterns, exception handling, logging, testing, and performance optimization.
- Experience building production-grade APIs, microservices, integration services, and automation frameworks.

GCP – Mandatory
- Strong hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) .
- Strong experience with several of the following:
- Cloud Run
- Cloud Functions
- Pub/Sub
- API Gateway
- Cloud Storage
- BigQuery
- Dataflow
- Secret Manager
- Cloud Scheduler
- IAM
- Cloud Logging / Monitoring
- Experience designing cloud-native and event-driven architectures on GCP.
- Strong understanding of GCP networking, security, IAM, scalability, and cost optimization.

Integration
- Strong experience designing and implementing enterprise integration solutions .
- Excellent understanding of REST APIs, JSON, HTTP, authentication, OAuth2, JWT, and API security.
- Experience with synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns.
- Strong experience with messaging/event-driven architectures.
- Experience integrating cloud applications, enterprise applications, databases, and third-party systems.




- Experience with API management and integration platforms is highly desirable.

DevOps & Engineering
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments.
- Experience with Git-based source control.
- Experience with Terraform / Infrastructure as Code is preferred.
- Experience with Docker and containerized deployments.
- Understanding of automated testing, monitoring, logging, and observability.

Leadership Expectations The successful candidate should be a player-coach who can:

- Lead technical discussions and make architecture decisions.
- Own integration workstreams and drive delivery.
- Provide technical direction to the team.
- Review and improve solution designs and code.
- Personally develop critical components and perform hands-on implementation.
- Troubleshoot complex technical issues independently.
- Engage with senior stakeholders while remaining deeply involved in engineering execution.
- Balance architecture, leadership, and delivery without becoming a purely managerial resource.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working in large enterprise environments.
- Experience with API-led connectivity and event-driven architecture.
- Experience with Kafka or other enterprise messaging platforms.
- Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, or SQL Server.
- Experience with Kubernetes/GKE is a plus.
- Experience with DevSecOps and cloud security practices.
- GCP certification such as Skilled Cloud Developer, Professional Cloud Architect, or equivalent is preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile We are specifically looking for someone who is strong enough to operate at a Manager / Senior Associate level but still genuinely hands-on .

The candidate should be comfortable saying:

“I can design the solution, lead the team, and also write the code and deliver the critical integration components myself.”

This role is best suited for a hands-on Technical Lead, Integration Lead, Senior Python Developer, or Engineering Lead with deep GCP experience—not a pure Project Manager, People Manager, or non-coding Architect.
