Senior Python Engineer for Infrastructure-as-Code Analysis

Senior Python Engineer (IaC Analysis)

GreenShift (Amsterdam; hybrid/relocation possible)

We build an application-first cloud optimization platform. A core part of our roadmap is a static analysis engine for Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): parsing, modelling, and extracting actionable findings from Terraform/Pulumi/CloudFormation and related configs.

We’re hiring a Senior Python Engineer to help us build this engine and the surrounding backend services. This is a hands-on role with room to grow into broader technical ownership.

What you’ll do

• Build Python services and libraries to ingest and normalize IaC (Terraform/Pulumi/CloudFormation) and cloud metadata.
• Implement static analysis components: parsing, AST/IR representations, rule evaluation, and explainable findings.
• Write and maintain a growing set of static analysis checkers
• Enforce test coverage (unit + integration) and keep CI reliable.
• Collaborate with the team on APIs, data models, and shipping increments.

What you bring

• Solid Python experience in production (clean code, testing habits, debugging).
• Familiarity with IaC in real projects (Terraform strongly preferred; others are a plus).
• Interest in static analysis / compiler frontends / linters / rule checkers (direct experience is a very strong plus).
• Comfort with ambiguity and incremental delivery in a startup environment.

Nice to have

• Experience parsing HCL / JSON / YAML and working with ASTs.

• Experience developing automated checkers and verifiers

Offer

• Salary aligned with senior level (targeting within our budget) + equity.
• High ownership, small team, fast feedback loops.
• Relocation support if needed.
