Our Consulting team at BearingPoint is dedicated to optimizing client business operations through advanced ERP and CRM systems. With deep expertise in SAP across various domains like finance, logistics, data, and technology, we streamline processes and enhance decision-making efficiency. Our proficiency in Salesforce helps us improve customer relationships with innovative strategies. We leverage data tools like PowerBI for insightful analytics and excel in Microsoft cloud technologies, particularly Azure, to provide secure and scalable solutions. Additionally, our team develops integrated mobile front-end and back-end applications, ensuring user-friendly mobile access to ERP and CRM systems.
BearingPoint's consulting services are designed to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client, driving growth and operational excellence. We pride ourselves on our client-centric approach, focusing on delivering measurable results and sustainable improvements.
Primary Functions And Tasks
We are seeking an experienced Senior Python Developer with a strong track record of implementation of scalable backend systems for enterprise-grade solutions, ideally serving 5,000+ active users. The ideal candidate will demonstrate deep expertise in the Python ecosystem (Flask, async processing, inter-process communication, error handling) and have led end-to-end development efforts from design to deployment.
This role demands hands-on experience with Azure cloud services, preferable Azure Cognitive Search, Azure Functions, and Azure OpenAI integrations, to build intelligent document processing pipelines. Candidates should be comfortable working with diverse document types (PDFs, Office files, images, emails) and implementing WebSocket/SSE-based progress tracking for long-running jobs.
While enterprise-level AI experience is not mandatory, academic or practical exposure to modern AI concepts - such as NLP, LLMs, RAG, vector databases, tokenization, system prompts, and agentic architectures - will be highly valued. We are not looking for simple POCs or Streamlit dashboards, but rather robust, production-grade solutions that push the boundaries of intelligent automation.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Skills
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; 5-7+ years of hands-on Python backend development with demonstrated delivery of scalable, production-grade systems beyond MVPs/POCs; enterprise search and high-volume document intelligence platforms are a plus.
Preferred Qualifications
Compensation package:
