Project Description:

The EBS Project is maintenance and development for a bundle of applications. MARS is a small project connected to EBS.

We are seeking a highly skilled Python Consultant/Developer to join our team and provide support in modernizing and enhancing our existing Risk Management set of Python-based tools. The candidate will bring a strong expertise in Python development and cloud technologies to lead the refactoring of current applications, ensuring code quality, performance optimization, and scalability. Additionally, the consultant will provide technical support for transitioning these tools to a cloud-based environment, aligning with best practices and organizational goals.

In addition a platform has to be created, that enables Business Departments of ECB to develop and deploy simple web applications using CI/CD pipelines without involvement of the ECB IT department. These applications will be implemented using Python based frameworks. Technically, the platform is planned to be hosted either in AWS or OCI, using managed container and database services of the respective provider. A detailed concept for this was created by a Solution Architect.

Responsibilities:

1. Refactoring Existing Tools:

– Analyze the existing Python tools to identify areas for optimization, enhancement, and modernization.

– Improve code readability, maintainability, and performance by implementing modular structures, efficient algorithms, and adherence to Python best practices.

– Ensure comprehensive documentation of the refactored code for ease of future maintenance and updates.

2. Development:

– Develop a platform to enable Business Departments of ECB to develop and deploy simple web applications using CI/CD pipelines without involvement of the ECB IT department (detailed concept is finished)

3. Cloud Transition Support:

– Collaborate with stakeholders to develop a transition plan for moving Python tools to cloud environments (AWS).

– Address challenges related to scalability, data handling, and security in the cloud transition process.

4. Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing:

– Work closely with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, data analysts, and cloud architects, to align on project objectives and technical requirements.

– Provide guidance and training to internal teams on best practices in Python development and cloud utilization.

5. Monitoring and Support:

– Establish robust monitoring and logging mechanisms to track the performance and reliability of tools post-transition.

– Offer ongoing support and troubleshooting assistance to resolve any issues arising during or after the cloud transition.”

Mandatory Skills Description:

“Technical Expertise:

– Advanced proficiency in Python, with a deep understanding of its libraries and frameworks (e.g. FastAPI, Streamlit, Pandas, NumPy, Django, Flask).

– Proven experience in refactoring complex Python codebases for scalability, performance, and maintainability.

– Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS) and related technologies (e.g., Kubernetes).

– Experience in data migration and ETL processes.

Development Practices:

– Strong background in software development best practices, including Agile methodologies, version control systems (Git), and code review processes.

– Expertise in designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines.

Problem-Solving and Optimization:

– Ability to identify and resolve bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and architectural limitations in existing systems.

– Skill in implementing scalable and robust solutions tailored to cloud ecosystems.

Soft Skills:

– Excellent communication and collaboration abilities to work effectively with diverse teams.

– Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proactive approach to addressing challenges.”
