Contract – Python Engineer (FastAPI, GCP, Kubernetes) Remote (UK-based) | £500–£600day | Outside IR35 | 3 months+
We’re supporting a legal-tech platform that helps litigation teams collect and process Slack data; they’re in the middle of a major re-platform. They’ve inherited a mess, made big moves toward Kubernetes (away from GCP serverless), and now need a contract engineer to help rebuild a core part of the system by the end of the year.
You’ll be coming in at a critical point, working on Slack data ingestion pipelines and helping build out production-grade services on a new Kubernetes-based setup.
The Stack:
- Python & FastAPI (non-negotiable)
- GCP (Pub/Sub, Cloud Run)
- Kubernetes (mainly for deploying services)
- Postgres & Elasticsearch
- React (frontend exists, but you won’t need to touch it)
What They’re Looking For:
- Strong Python engineer with FastAPI experience
- Comfortable working in containerised environments
- Hands-on with GCP and/or Kubernetes
- Able to work independently - this isn’t a greenfield, it’s a rescue mission
- Bonus if you’ve dealt with Slack/Jira/Confluence integrations or data pipelines
