Python Developer – Azure DevOps - Contract

Contract | Inside IR35 | Day rate DOE | Hybrid / UK

Contract Python Developer needed to build software and own how it gets into production.

This is not a ticket-only engagement. You will work with delivery, product and stakeholders, explain trade-offs clearly, and keep work moving. If you prefer to sit in the backlog and only work Jira items, do not apply.

The work

• Develop and maintain Python services and tooling


• Own CI/CD in Azure DevOps — YAML pipelines, environments, approvals, releases


• Improve build, test and deploy practice, not just deliver features


• Work directly with non-technical colleagues and help unblock delivery


• Operate at pace in a busy environment with changing priorities

What you need

• Hands‑on Azure DevOps: pipelines, repo strategy, artefacts, release process


• Solid CI/CD judgement — you have owned this, not just used someone else’s setup


• Clear communicator; comfortable in the room, not only on Slack


• Happy working inside IR35 via an approved umbrella / PAYE route


• FastAPI / Flask / Django


• Terraform or Bicep


• Commercial or consumer-facing platforms

Engagement

• Inside IR35
