We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Python Developer to lead a critical mission: modernizing our core billing application by migrating legacy mod_python codebases to a modern, high-performance Python 3.x environment.

In this role, you will act as a bridge between the past and the future of our platform. You will be responsible for untangling deeply embedded Apache-coupled logic and re-architecting it into a modular, testable, and scalable framework such as Flask using the latest WSGI/ASGI standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Legacy Transformation: Lead the end-to-end migration of legacy billing applications running on mod_python (Apache) to modern Python 3.12+ environments.
• Architectural Re-design: Decouple Python logic from the Apache server layer, transitioning from "handler" based execution to modern REST/GraphQL APIs.
• Code Modernization: Refactor Python 2.x/3.x legacy code, removing deprecated libraries and implementing modern best practices (type hinting, async/await, and functional programming patterns).
• System Integration: Replace or upgrade legacy third-party integrations, ensuring data consistency and security protocols are maintained during the transition.

Technical Requirements

• Python Expertise: 4+ years of professional Python experience, with a deep understanding of the language’s evolution (from early 2.x to the current 3.12+ releases).
• Mod_python & Apache: Proven experience working with mod_python, including custom handlers, Apache configuration, and the unique challenges of embedded Python interpreters.
• Modern Frameworks: Expert-level proficiency in at least one modern web framework: FastAPI, Django, or Flask (preferred).
• Concurrency & Servers: Strong knowledge of WSGI (Gunicorn/uWSGI) and ASGI (Uvicorn/Daphne) server interfaces and asynchronous programming.
• Migration Tools: Experience with migration aids such as 2to3, futurize, and building custom automated refactoring scripts.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Proficiency in Docker/Kubernetes for containerizing the new environment and setting up robust CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Database Mastery: Strong SQL skills and experience with SQLAlchemy or similar tool.

Soft Skills

• Analytical Mindset: The ability to read through "archaeological" codebases to understand business logic where documentation may be missing.
• Risk Management: A cautious, test-first approach to refactoring to ensure zero regressions in high-stakes production environments.
• Effective Communication: Ability to explain the technical debt of legacy systems to non-technical stakeholders and justify the ROI of modernization.

Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
