We're Hiring: Senior Software Engineer – Search & Distributed Systems (Contract | Hybrid – Dallas-Fort Worth, TX)

We're partnering with a large enterprise organization building a high-volume enterprise search and intelligent-matching platform that processes millions of transactions daily. If you're a Python engineer who loves solving hard search-relevance and distributed-systems problems at scale, this one's worth a look.


What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable backend services and REST APIs in Python (FastAPI, async)
  • Own Elasticsearch index design, query performance, and relevance tuning for high-volume search workloads
  • Build event-driven data pipelines using Kafka for real-time, high-throughput processing
  • Develop and secure cloud-native services on Microsoft Azure
  • Integrate with Databricks and enterprise data platforms for large-scale data processing
  • Drive CI/CD, observability, and production performance across a modern distributed architecture


What You Bring

  • 7+ years of hands-on Python backend development — this is foundational, not optional
  • Strong production Elasticsearch experience (Query DSL, relevance tuning, mapping, index lifecycle management)
  • Experience with Kafka or a comparable enterprise event-streaming platform
  • Hands-on experience deploying and securing applications on Microsoft Azure
  • Solid grounding in distributed systems, microservices, and CI/CD (Git, Docker, Azure DevOps)


Nice to Have

  • Databricks, PySpark, and Delta Lake experience
  • Semantic/vector search, LLM integration, or Azure OpenAI experience
  • Kubernetes, Terraform/Pulumi, and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
  • Healthcare or supply chain industry background


The Details

  • Hybrid – Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (must be able to commute onsite)
  • Contract opportunity, 3 openings
  • $73–85/hr, depending on W2 or C2C
