Python Engineer (Data Product Team)

Amsterdam, Netherlands

We’re hiring a Senior Python Engineer to join our Data Product Team and help power the analytics behind Manychat’s growth.

You’ll work on a high-load, near real-time platform that transforms large volumes of platform data into personalized insights seen by millions of users. The features you build will directly impact activation, retention, and revenue.

As part of a small, high-impact team, you'll own the data platform end to end, including data warehouse and ManyChat platform integrations, high-load APIs, and data aggregation pipelines. You’ll help scale performance, evolve our architecture, and influence Python engineering standards across the company.

If you care about building scalable systems, working close to the product, and seeing measurable business impact from your code, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO 🚀

• Build and maintain data platform that power Manychat’s analytics and insights features

• Design and implement async APIs using Python and FastAPI

• Develop and optimize ETL flows that transfer data from DWH (Snowflake) into PostgreSQL for fast and reliable access

• Design caching strategies using Redis to balance performance and data freshness

• Improve system reliability, observability, and performance under high load

• Collaborate closely with product teams across the entire product organization, partnering with all major product domains to deliver data and insights that power key user experiences

• Contribute to architectural decisions as the platform evolves toward more event-driven patterns

• Own features end to end from data modeling and API design to deployment and monitoring

• Help establish engineering best practices for Python services across Manychat

TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE 💥

You’ll need:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years of deep, hands-on Python expertise. Strong background in designing and building scalable, high-load, production-grade systems with extensive use of asynchronous programming

• Hands-on experience designing and building REST APIs with FastAPI or a similar async framework

• Strong knowledge of relational databases and SQL, preferably PostgreSQL, including query optimization and performance tuning

• Experience working with caching (Redis/Valkey or similar), with a solid understanding of cache invalidation strategies

• Proven ownership of services end to end, including CI/CD pipelines, production deployments, monitoring, and ongoing performance improvements

• Strong understanding of system design and scalable architecture principles, with the ability to reason about reliability, consistency, and data freshness

• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering teams and delivering user-facing product features in fast-paced environments

• Clear communication skills and the ability to explain technical tradeoffs while maintaining a high bar for code quality, testing, and maintainability

It would be great if you have:

• Experience building data platforms or analytics products

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, ClickHouse, or other OLAP dbs

• Familiarity with event-driven architecture patterns

• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Terraform, and AWS

• Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry

• Exposure to AI or machine learning driven product features

• Interest in growing into a Technical Lead role as the team expands
