Software Engineer (Python) (They/She/He)
Summary
Co-owns PlatformE's product-customization platform end to end in a small team — designing, building, deploying, and running features shipped to global luxury brand clients, including production monitoring and incident response. Core stack: Python (FastAPI), REST APIs, SQL/relational databases, Docker, Git and CI/CD, working hybrid from Porto.
About us
PlatformE is a technology platform that enables enterprise brands to deliver scalable product and customer personalization across all touchpoints. It integrates customization, e-commerce, retail, CRM, and marketing systems into a unified solution that simplifies operations and enhances the personalized shopping experience. Our technology runs behind some of the world's most demanding luxury houses, where quality, discretion and reliability are non-negotiable.
Your mission
You will co-own our platform together with our senior engineer, in a deliberately small team where your work ships to production and in front of global luxury brands, not into a backlog. You own features end to end: design, build, deploy, run. No layers, no bureaucracy, direct access to the people and clients your code serves, and a modern AI-assisted engineering workflow.
If you are the engineer who wants real ownership instead of a ticket queue, we would love to meet you.
The journey
Design, build and maintain features across our client-facing platform, end to end.
Own deployments and production: monitoring, incident response, and the fixes that follow.
Perform technical builds and configurations for enterprise clients with precision, to agreed delivery dates.
Review code and raise the engineering bar together with our senior engineer.
Work with databases, REST APIs and third-party integrations across the stack.
Identify and automate repetitive delivery work so the team stays small and fast.
Be a technical voice in client conversations when it matters.
Write clean, well-documented code and keep our technical documentation alive.
