Job Description

The opportunity

Artificial Intelligence has shifted from prediction to practice, ushering in the autonomous enterprise—where systems of intelligence drive operations, not just support them.”

For the past eight years, we've been supporting some of the most iconic enterprises to embrace the potential of AI. Building on our experience and proven impact, we are now more committed than ever to our vision: creating a world of possibility through Superlinear productivity gains.

The next step is clear: we are broadening our horizon throughout Europe, supporting the world’s most critical enterprises in their transformation. To realize this ambitious vision, we’re seeking sharp minds and steady hands: people who care deeply, are mission-driven, build boldly, and own the outcome.

That's why we are hiring a Senior Software Engineer - Python.

The role

As our Software Engineer specialized in Python, you'll be the architect of our core platform infrastructure. You'll write modern, fully type-annotated Python that sets the standard for the team, design elegant abstractions, and build robust systems that define how we deliver software.

What you’ll build

Architectural Design

Design clean abstractions that make complex systems simple to use

Create interfaces that elegantly separate concerns and enable modularity

Architect systems with minimal dependencies and maximum maintainability

Design modern RESTful APIs following OpenAPI specifications and best practices

Define data models that capture business logic while remaining flexible

Build foundational components that other engineers will build upon

Design data connectors that reliably integrate with enterprise systems

PostgreSQL and relational database design

FastAPI and RESTful API design

Monorepo toolchains (e.g., moon, pants, or bazel)

Git and collaborative development workflows

Comprehensive testing with pytest (unit, integration, end-to-end)

Monitoring and observability tools

Security best practices

Documentation and technical writing

Fluency in English, any other languages is a plus

Mindset \& Approach

Preference for proven technology that works

Focus on simplicity and minimizing dependencies

Obsession with robustness and operational excellence

Clear communication of complex concepts to diverse stakeholders

Passion for craftsmanship and doing things right

Ability to balance pragmatism with technical excellence

Why this role matters

You'll be defining how we write Python and setting the technical foundation for our platform. Your architectural decisions will impact every feature we build and every integration we create. You're not just writing code—you're establishing the engineering culture and standards that will scale with our team.

This is a role for someone who cares deeply about modern Python craftsmanship, who believes that good architecture makes everything else possible, and who wants to build systems that are a joy to operate and extend.

What we offer

Impact: Your code will power the core systems used by Europe’s most critical enterprises.

Challenge: Solve complex problems with elegant, simple solutions

Leadership: Set the standards for Python engineering and mentor the team

Growth: Take on increasing ownership in a fast-evolving platform

Collaboration: Work closely together with our Brussels team

Compensation: Competitive salary with performance bonus and equity

Benefits: Comprehensive health insurance, group insurance, meal/eco vouchers, full transportation coverage, internet allowance, and additional Superlinear holidays.

Tools: MacBook Pro, cloud compute resources, and optimization solver licenses

Team: Collaborate with brilliant minds in AI

Ready to build it right?

If you're passionate about modern Python, believe in building robust systems with proven technologies, and want to set the engineering standard for a growing team, we want to hear from you.

Join us in building Python systems that are powerful in their simplicity and bulletproof in their execution.
