Six Feet Up is seeking a seasoned Python/DevOps Engineer (100% remote, USA only) who can work across software development, architecture, cloud infrastructure, data, AI, and client collaboration.
This role is for an experienced engineering generalist: someone with deep expertise who is not limited to one framework, platform, or layer of the stack. You are comfortable entering unfamiliar systems, clarifying ambiguous problems, and applying sound judgment where it creates the most value.
You also understand that AI has changed software engineering. You use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate research, implementation, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting while remaining accountable for the quality, security, and correctness of the result.
One project may involve modernizing a mature Python application. Another may require designing an API, building a data workflow, integrating AI capabilities, or improving cloud infrastructure and observability. This role is a strong fit for someone who is curious, pragmatic, collaborative, and ready to work on the problem that matters most.
