In 2024, we reached a major milestone: over $100 million in annual recurring revenue! We're constantly innovating and releasing new features to meet the evolving needs of our customers, all while focusing on stability, quality, and performance.

Our Engineering team is a diverse and talented group of around 250 individuals, passionate about building a world‑class product. While this is a fully remote position, we'd love for you to visit our vibrant offices in Warsaw, Lisbon, or Kyiv whenever you'd like to connect with colleagues in person.

Team description

The team focuses on developing and expanding workflows and user flows for Panda Doc’s product. Our current priority is to enhance the summary page, which displays critical information relevant to different document types and acts as a constructor for multiple views of these documents. This functionality is vital to our mission of enabling revenue organizations with automated, seamless Quote‑to‑Cash and agreement processes.

We believe in ownership, collaboration, and transparency, with teams owning the entire lifecycle of their features, from development to deployment and support. As a senior engineer, you will be expected to contribute to architectural decisions, drive design discussions, and mentor junior team members.

• Collaborate with Engineers, Product Managers, Product Designers, and Analysts across Panda Doc to create a positive customer impact.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help drive the design process.
• Write clean, self‑explainable, testable, production‑ready code, considering non‑functional requirements such as scalability and performance.
• Follow a feature through its entire lifecycle, from problem formulation to solution delivery.
• Use quality metrics to identify gaps and define targets for team deliverables.
• Improve internal processes and documentation.
• Partner with stakeholders to clarify requirements and transform them into production‑grade solutions.
• Join an on‑call rotation after onboarding and help strengthen our reliability practices (working hours only).
• Provide mentorship and guidance to the team, ensuring a positive and collaborative environment.

• Service‑oriented architecture, but be prepared to deal with legacy code as well (including Django‑based monoliths).
• Python services are mostly built with Async
  
  IO frameworks and libraries; we also have Django‑based services with Celery workers under the hood.
• Temporal for workflow orchestration is used to coordinate long‑running, cross‑service business processes with built‑in retries, timers, and state management.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Kubernetes (K8S) are used extensively for provisioning and deploying workloads.
• The main cross‑service communication transports are NATS, Kafka, and Rabbit
  
  MQ.
• Prometheus/Grafana stack for monitoring and alerting.

• At least 5+ years of development experience with Python.
• Strong experience with system design.
• You care about quality and understand what it means to ship high‑quality code.
• Experience with microservice‑based architectures.
• Experience with relational databases (SQL queries, migrations, optimization).
• Experience with message queues (e.g., Rabbit
  
  MQ, NATS, Kafka).
• You put yourself in the shoes of your users and are committed to crafting great experiences.
• You're a strong communicator, able to explain complex technical concepts to product managers, designers, customer support, and other engineers.
• You communicate effectively in English,…
