Collabera is seeking two Senior Python Developers to support a Ticketing Automation Project within the Public Markets Technology team at a major Canadian pension fund in Downtown Toronto. This role is focused on modernizing and automating legacy ticketing workflows, transitioning from a manual, inefficient process (legacy Dash system) to a scalable, automated solution. The position offers strong exposure to high-volume operational environments and engineering solutions that directly improve workflow efficiency and scalability.

They will be working with AWS cloud services, containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and messaging systems (SQS/Kafka) to support distributed workflows. The remaining amount will include collaborating with engineering and operations teams, troubleshooting automation pipelines, and contributing to modernization initiatives within the broader trading technology ecosystem.

8-10+ years of experience as a Python Engineer
Strong hands-on Python development experience
AWS cloud experience
Strong SQL and database querying skills
Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
Experience with messaging technologies (SQS, Kafka, or similar)
