Senior Python Engineer, Application Platform

Currently, PandaDoc is seeking a Senior Python Engineer to join our Application Platform Track.

In this team, we are tackling the challenge of breaking down a large, monolithic application into a set of well-defined, scalable services. Our goal is to improve overall system reliability, streamline the release process, and establish clear code ownership. We own several mission-critical domain services and are responsible for making them robust, efficient, and easy to integrate. By driving this transformation, we enable our product, business operations, finance, and customer success teams to work with high-performance, stable service solutions that scale with our company’s growth.

Are you adaptable, driven, and friendly? Do you thrive in a fast-paced work environment where collaboration is the norm? If the answer is yes, then you’re a Panda and we want you to join our team 🐼
