Python Developer (Senior Track)

Software Engineer (Senior Track) 📍 Zagreb | Hybrid F24 is Europe's leading crisis management SaaS platform, trusted by governments, airlines, banks, and Fortune 500s in over 100 countries. When a major incident unfolds, our software is the system people rely on. Our Zagreb Tech Centre is already up and running, with Wave 1 in place and Wave 2 now underway — and we're looking for engineers who are ready to step up and grow into a senior role as part of that build. Why F24? You'll be working on technology that genuinely matters. The Services team is the result of merging two established backend teams into one — responsible for roughly 10 shared services that run across every F24 product. We're talking high-performance event logging, billing, unified data object storage, single sign-on, user services, asset services, and more. These aren't isolated features; they're the foundational layer that every product in the portfolio depends on. The work is technically meaty: horizontally scalable microservices, event-driven architecture with Kafka and RabbitMQ, multi-database design with a real focus on query performance, and streaming services built for scale. You'll also get exposure to what F24's AI engineers are building on RAG pipelines, MCP servers, and LLM streaming integrations — a great environment if you want to stretch into that space. This is a role for someone who's already comfortable in backend Python work and is looking for the next step: more ownership, more complexity, and more say in how things get built. This is an opportunity to: Build shared services used by 5,500+ organisations worldwide Grow into architectural decision-making rather than just implementing against it Work on high-performance, event-driven systems where throughput and reliability actually matter Get hands-on exposure to distributed systems and message-driven architecture at a scale you may not have worked at before Join a growing engineering hub with real investment and long-term plans Learn alongside AI engineers, DevOps, and Architecture teams across Europe Help build the secure, scalable foundation that F24's future product suite is built on What You'll Bring: Solid, hands-on Python backend experience, ideally with some FastAPI and async exposure — you're confident writing production code, you just haven't had the platform to work at this scale yet Experience in a product/SaaS environment Some exposure to distributed systems, message brokers, or cloud-native tooling — you don't need to be an expert, but you should understand the concepts and be keen to go deeper Curiosity about AI tools or ML integration — direct experience is a bonus, not a requirement A collaborative mindset, and the ambition to take on more responsibility and grow into a senior-level role Tech Stack: Python | FastAPI | MongoDB | MariaDB | RabbitMQ | Kafka | Redis | Docker | Kubernetes | WebSockets | OAuth2 | GitLab CI | Microservices About F24 F24 is Europe's leading provider of crisis management and emergency notification software. Trusted by more than 5,500 organisations globally, we're helping businesses protect their people, operations, and reputation when it matters most. If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact while growing into a more senior position, we'd love to hear from you. Salary is paying up to €48,420 (Gross) annually.
