Job Description


Who We Are 🌍

We help creators get more out of every conversation with Instagram-focused automations and support for other channels like Messenger, WhatsApp, and TikTok. The result? Better engagement, more sales, and real, sustainable growth.

With a diverse team of 350+ people across three continents, we’re building the leading Chat Marketing platform — trusted by more than 1.5 million customers worldwide. AI is one of our top strategic priorities. We’re building intelligent, production-grade systems that power conversations at scale — and we’re just getting started.

Who We're Looking For 🌟

We’re hiring a Senior Python Engineer to build and evolve a Python-based platform layer that extends and scales Manychat’s eng core.

This is not a standalone backend. This layer acts as a bridge and execution environment for high-load, business-critical workflows that cannot be efficiently handled inside the core system.

Your Primary Focus Will Be Designing Systems That

  • decouple and offload complexity from the core platform
  • enable scalable execution of business logic
  • provide reliable communication between services

This Role Is Ideal For Someone Who

  • thinks in systems, not services
  • understands trade-offs of distributed architectures
  • can turn loosely defined problems into stable production solutions
  • is comfortable working close to platform boundaries and constraints

What You'll Do 🚀

  • Design and build a Python-based platform layer that integrates with the core system.
  • Define and evolve patterns for service communication, orchestration, and responsibility split between core and Python services.
  • Develop scalable, async services handling high-load and latency-sensitive workflows.
  • Own API contracts between systems, ensuring stability, backward compatibility, and clear boundaries.
  • Identify and extract functionality from the core into scalable services where it improves performance or maintainability.
  • Ensure reliability of cross-system interactions through observability (monitoring, logging, tracing).
  • Design for failure: retries, idempotency, consistency guarantees.
  • Drive engineering quality: testing strategy, CI/CD, safe rollout practices.
  • Work closely with Platform and Product teams to align architecture with business needs.
  • Contribute to long-term platform scalability, not just feature delivery.

TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE 💥

You’ll Need

  • 5+ years of commercial Python development in production environments.
  • Strong expertise in modern Python frameworks (FastAPI preferred; Django/Flask acceptable).
  • Solid experience designing and integrating APIs (including third-party services).
  • Strong understanding of async programming and concurrency (AsyncIO, non-blocking I/O).
  • Experience working with PostgreSQL and large datasets.
  • Experience building and maintaining high-load backend systems.
  • Strong testing practices (unit and integration tests; PyTest preferred).
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Docker.
  • Strong ownership and product mindset — able to align with stakeholders and connect engineering work to business impact.

It Would Be Great If You Have

  • Experience working with loaded projects and queue systems.
  • Skills working with infrastructure.
  • Experience working with third-party API.
  • Knowledge of different NoSQL solutions and analytical systems.
  • Replication, partioning, sharding, PL/pgSQL, and other attributes of profound work with databases.

What We Offer 🤗

We care deeply about your growth, well-being, and comfort:

  • 🌍 Hybrid onboarding to start remotely and relocation support for you and your family.
  • 💙 Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family.
  • 📚 Professional development budget for conferences, courses, and learning resources.
  • 🫶 Flexible benefits package tailored to your priorities.
  • 🪴 Hybrid work and generous leave options for work-life balance.
  • 🍽️ In-office perks including free meals and snacks.
  • 🤝 Company-funded sports activities, annual offsites, and team-building events.
