# Senior Python Engineer
> Aerones · Riga, Latvia · Full-time · Posted 2026-03-20
**Workplace:** on_site
**Department:** Platform development
## Description
**AERONES**, the global leader in robotic wind turbine maintenance operating across 30+ countries, is seeking a **Senior Python Engineer** to build backend services and data pipelines using Django, PostgreSQL, and **AI coding agents as your primary development tool**.
This isn't traditional engineering where AI is optional — we're looking for engineers who've embraced autonomous AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as their core workflow, shipping production code through specification-driven, agent-augmented development.
Our software platform powers inspection analytics, operations planning, and customer portals — connecting field robotics to actionable data across thousands of wind turbines worldwide.
### **What You'll Do:**
- Build REST APIs, data models, migrations, and background tasks using Django & PostgreSQL with AI agents as your primary tool
- Design data pipelines processing inspection data from drone and crawler operations
- Create context documentation ( files, system prompts) that makes AI agents effective in our codebase
- Optimize PostgreSQL queries and ensure backend services scale with global operations
- Review and validate agent-generated code — ensure tests pass, edge cases are covered, and code is production-ready
- Help the team adopt AI-native development through shared tooling and demonstration
## Requirements
**Must have:**
- 5+ years Python development with significant Django & PostgreSQL production experience
- Deep Django expertise: ORM, REST framework, migrations, Celery, complex queries, JSON operations
- Daily use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) in production work
- "Delegate, Review, Own" mentality — you hand off implementation to agents, review (not write) most code, and own outcomes
- Strong understanding of testing, CI/CD, and architecture patterns
- Fluent English
**Nice to have:**
- GCP infrastructure experience
- AI product features (LLM APIs, embeddings, RAG)
- Wind energy, robotics, or industrial IoT background
## Benefits
We believe great work starts with feeling valued and supported. That’s why we are building an thoughtful, competitive benefits and perks to help you thrive — professionally and personally — through every step of your Career with us. You will be eligible for:
- Salary from 4**,500 EUR to 6,000 EUR per month** (before Taxes)
- A Birthday Gift
**After Probationary Period**
- **Health Insurance**
- **Health Recovery Days** (which can be taken as you need)
- Paid **Study Leave**
- Funding for the purchase of **Vision Glasses** after one (1) year of service
