Senior Python Engineer

We’re seeking a Senior Python Developer who obsesses over clean and scalable code. Join our teams in Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Prishtina or Sarajevo to help us solve complex problems, experiment with new tools, and push the limits of AI-powered development.

About Povio:

We began our journey with Y Combinator, the world's top startup accelerator. With innovation at our core, we develop cutting-edge digital products for industry leaders like Volkswagen, the founder of Reddit, Serena Williams, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Startups and scale-ups are in our DNA, and we love turning bold ideas into polished high-impact solutions.

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and maintain back-end services with Python.
• Use AI-assisted, agentic, and spec-driven workflows to improve delivery quality, reduce rework, and increase engineering leverage.
• Contribute to AI-powered products and features, from LLM integrations to intelligent workflows and automation.
• Collaborate with designers, PMs, QAs, and engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Take ownership of features from planning and implementation through testing, documentation, and delivery.
• Optimize applications for performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Actively explore new technologies and bring fresh ideas into the team.

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have:

• 5+ years of experience in software development (3+ years with Python).
• Strong experience with Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
• Hands-on experience with AI-powered developer tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot…) and agentic approaches, paired with the engineering judgment needed to validate the outcome.
• Focus on writing clean, testable, maintainable code.
• Passion for exploring new technologies and applying them in real-world projects.
• Good communication skills and fluency in English for effective collaboration with both your team and international clients.

Nice/Bonus if you've:

• Designed, built, or operated LLM-powered systems in production environments.
• Worked with evaluation, monitoring, or handling non-deterministic model behavior at scale.

What We Offer:

• Expert Team: collaborate with ambitious, supportive engineers who care deeply about quality, learning, and helping each other succeed.
• Continuous Growth: work alongside experienced engineers, explore new technologies, and continuously evolve how you build software.
• Modern Engineering Culture: be at the front edge of AI-assisted, agentic, and spec-driven development with the freedom to keep exploring as the industry evolves and ship more without dropping quality.
• Meaningful Work: build products for top U.S. and European companies, solving diverse technical and business challenges across industries.
• Real Ownership: contribute beyond implementation, influence technical decisions, and see the direct impact of your work on products used by real users.
• Flexible Schedule: join one of our teams in Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Sarajevo, or Prishtina and enjoy a hybrid way of work with flexible hours.

Interested? If you're a growth-minded engineer who's excited to build with AI and push what's possible in modern Python development, we'd love to meet you!
