Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Python/React)

Solution Design & Delivery

• Design and develop full-stack solutions (Python back-end, React front-end) that integrate with portfolio products or run as standalone platforms. - Architect service-to-service integration patterns: synchronous APIs, event queues, webhook pipelines, and scheduled batch processes. - Build and maintain FastAPI services with clear contracts, versioning, and observability from day one. Workflow & Automation Engineering

• Implement sophisticated multi-step automation workflows that coordinate actions across enterprise systems — document management, CRM, HR, finance, and media platforms. - Build integrations between internal data sources, third-party APIs, and cloud platform services (Azure, GCP). Quality, Governance & Documentation

• Build evaluation and testing frameworks so that every automated workflow is measurable, auditable, and improvable. - Work closely with the Engineering Lead to define governance standards: access control, audit logging, safe defaults, and compliance guardrails. - Maintain thorough technical documentation — architecture diagrams, runbooks, API specs, and decision records. Collaboration

• Operate within an Agile Kanban team, taking stories from backlog refinement through to production deployment. - Act as the technical bridge between business stakeholders and engineering: translating requirements into pragmatic designs and communicating trade-offs clearly. - Support other automation delivery teams across WPP with technical guidance and code reviews. What you'll need:

Essential

• 7–9 years of professional software engineering experience, with Python as the primary back-end language. - Strong React / TypeScript front-end skills — you can build and own the full vertical, not just the API layer. - Solid FastAPI or equivalent Python API framework experience; you know how to structure a production service. - Proven experience designing and operating event-driven or pipeline architectures (queues, schedulers, webhooks, streaming). - Comfortable working across cloud platforms — Azure and/or GCP — including managed services for compute, storage, and messaging. - Experience integrating with enterprise identity, directory, and SaaS APIs (Microsoft 365 ecosystem is a strong advantage). - Hands-on experience building search or retrieval-augmented systems: embedding pipelines, vector databases, semantic indexing. - Solid understanding of evaluation and testing practices for complex, non-deterministic systems. - Agile practitioner — comfortable in Kanban or Scrum, familiar with backlog management, sprint ceremonies, and incremental delivery. - Excellent written and verbal English; you document your work and communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Microsoft Copilot Studio or Power Platform. - Exposure to enterprise-grade governance patterns: RBAC, audit trails, policy-as-code. Certifications
