For our customers. For the cities and communities we serve. For ourselves. As a global team, we are transforming urban mobility. Let’s grow better, together.\nThe Role\nAs a Senior Python Engineer, you will join our Data Science Products team to build robust backend systems and infrastructure for our machine learning products. This team ingests billions of complex sensor data points daily to produce advanced products that help millions of drivers park or charge electric vehicles. For example, we predict the availability of parking in cities across the world and provide drivers with routes that reduce the time they will spend searching for a space near their destination.\nThis role will be focused on designing, building, and operating data-intensive applications and infrastructure that ensure our data products are fast, reliable, and scalable. You will take ownership of our data ingestion service and work closely with other engineers and data scientists in a supportive environment.\nHow to make an impact\nDeliver high-performance APIs with a focus on speed and reliability, utilizing FastAPI to serve machine learning insights.\n\nDeploy and manage cloud-native services using strong AWS knowledge and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles.\n\nLeverage Kafka to deliver near real time data to our machine learning models, other teams, or directly to customers.\n\nUse AI throughout the software development lifecycle - we are continually evolving our working practices in this area, while ensuring systems remain reliable and maintainable.\n\nImplement robust testing frameworks and system designs to maintain high code quality and service reliability.\n\nEnhance the observability and performance monitoring of our production services and platform.\n\nAbout you\nYou are a highly technical and collaborative engineer who enjoys solving complex challenges. You ensure that systems are well designed and that code is not just tested but easily testable, while remaining pragmatic about delivery. With a growth mindset, you look for ways to improve system efficiency and are eager to share your expertise in software best practices with a multidisciplinary team. You thrive when given the autonomy to own services from design through to production.\nYour background\nExtensive professional experience in Python backend development, including building and maintaining highly available backend services (FastAPI preferred) at scale.\n\nProven ability to design, build, and maintain data-intensive applications and infrastructure.\n\nDeep understanding of AWS services and hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (such as AWS CDK, Terraform or Pulumi) and containerization (Docker and AWS ECS/Kubernetes).\n\nExperience with Kafka.\n\nExperience working alongside data scientists in the \"PyData\" ecosystem (Numpy, Pandas) is desirable.\n\nFamiliarity with some of the other tools in our stack is desirable:\nRedis\n\nPostgres\n\nAirflow\n\nSpark\n\nThis is a hybrid role based in London, UK.\nAbout Arrive\nArrive, including brands like EasyPark, Flowbird, RingGo, ParkMobile and Parkopedia, is a leading global mobility platform.
