Job Description

About the Role

The Remote Python Backend & Sandbox Integration Engineer role at 24-MAG is a part-time consulting opportunity that leverages your expertise in Python backend development, API integration, and sandbox environments. As a key member of the team, you will support current and upcoming remote consulting projects focused on backend service development, sandbox application integration, and technical debugging. Your primary responsibility will be to design, develop, and deploy stable and efficient backend services, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems and applications.

The role requires a deep understanding of Python development, API integrations, and Docker-based environments. You will work closely with the development team to identify and resolve technical issues, implement new features, and optimize existing codebases. Your expertise in Linux workflows, service configuration, and structured application deployment will be essential in ensuring the smooth operation of our systems.

What You Will Do

  • Develop backend services and MCP-style servers using Python and related frameworks
  • Design and implement integrations that connect real software applications with structured sandbox environments
  • Work with APIs, service endpoints, configuration files, and backend logic to support reliable app behavior
  • Ensure technical implementations are stable, testable, maintainable, and aligned with project requirements
  • Integrate web or desktop applications into controlled technical environments
  • Implement populate, snapshot, or state-management hooks to support repeatable app behavior
  • Debug build issues, runtime errors, permission problems, dependency conflicts, and environment setup challenges
  • Test applications locally and verify expected functionality before deployment
  • Review technical outputs against platform validation requirements, deployment criteria, and documented specifications
  • Identify stability issues, configuration gaps, integration failures, and expected technical outcomes

What We Are Looking For

  • Strong Python development skills with experience building backend services, APIs, automation tools, or integration workflows
  • Experience with Docker, Linux, local testing, debugging, and service configuration
  • Familiarity with backend systems, API-based integrations, deployment pipelines, and application runtime environments
  • Comfort working with configuration files, containerized systems, logs, build processes, and technical validation requirements
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to technical detail
  • Ability to work independently and communicate technical decisions clearly
  • A degree or professional background in computer science, software engineering, information technology, computer engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field
  • Equivalent practical experience in Python development, backend engineering, DevOps-adjacent workflows, app integration, or technical debugging

Nice to Have

  • Experience with FastMCP, MCP servers, agent tooling, sandbox environments, or similar integration frameworks
  • Experience integrating third-party applications, developer tools, web apps, desktop apps, databases, or internal technical systems
  • Familiarity with containerized environments, Linux permissions, API authentication, local service orchestration, or deployment validation

Benefits and Perks

  • Competitive hourly rate of $60-$80
  • Flexible, part-time consulting arrangement
  • Opportunity to work with a leading company in the industry
  • Collaborative and dynamic remote work environment
  • Professional development and growth opportunities
  • Access to cutting-edge technologies and tools
  • Recognition and reward for outstanding performance

How to Stand Out

  • Ensure your resume and cover letter highlight your experience with Python backend development, API integrations, and Docker-based environments.
  • Be prepared to demonstrate your problem-solving skills and attention to technical detail during the interview process.
  • Showcase your ability to work independently and communicate technical decisions clearly through examples from your previous experience.
  • Familiarize yourself with the company's technology stack and be prepared to discuss how your skills align with their requirements.
  • Consider creating a personal project or contributing to open-source projects to demonstrate your skills and passion for backend development and integration.
  • Prepare to discuss your experience with debugging, testing, and deployment, and be ready to provide examples of how you have handled complex technical issues in the past.
