Senior Application Developer Python, Dockers, Kubernetes, AI Integration tools

Job Description Roles & Responsibilities: We are looking for a senior platform/application developer to support platform development and cloud deployment for our documentation and AI-related services - building and maintaining Python web applications and APIs, integrating with internal and external systems, and operating services reliably in production. The role requires 5+ years of production experience with web/backend development in Python, Docker and Kubernetes on AWS or GCP, and web security practices including OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect. Practical hands-on experience integrating with AI-related services (e.g. retrieval/RAG APIs, LLM or assistant backends, tooling protocols such as MCP) is expected; deep ML or model-training experience is not required. The work is broader platform engineering: feature development, automation, deployment pipelines, troubleshooting, and helping mature services for wider internal and eventual external customer/partner use. We need someone self-directed who can investigate, design, and deliver with minimal handholding. A production-support-leaning resource may be considered later; for now, prioritize candidates strong across build, deploy, and production support. Salary Range: $64,000 - $130,000 a year
