Senior Python Tooling Developer (Internal Test Infrastructure) — Healthcare area

What project we have for you

The team is building a next-generation internal Python tooling platform used across embedded firmware, cloud, and verification groups. We’re looking for a senior-level Python developer who loves debugging, root-cause analysis, and designing robust internal tools, not just writing scripts.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to work at the intersection of Python tooling, test infrastructure, and engineering support, where you’ll help shape an early-stage internal tool that multiple teams rely on.

What you will do

1. Python Tool & Package Development (Core Responsibility)

Design, build, and maintain internal Python packages and tooling (not just test scripts).
Create clean APIs, interfaces, and modular architectures for internal customers.
Implement defensive programming and error handling to make tools reliable and easy to adopt.

2. Debugging & Root Cause Analysis

Investigate failing tests and determine whether the issue lies in:
- The Python tool
- The test itself
- Or a firmware/cloud product team

Perform deep dives using debuggers, breakpoints, logs, and structured troubleshooting.

3. Support Test Development Teams

Collaborate with embedded, cloud, and verification teams to help them adopt the new tooling.
Triage, prioritize, and reproduce issues reported by internal users.
Contribute occasional tests yourself to ensure the tool works in real workflows.

4. Early-Stage Tool Infrastructure Work

Participate in bootstrapping and maturing a tool that is still early in development.
Improve stability, performance, and UX based on internal customer feedback.
Help define coding standards, packaging patterns, and best practices.
