Senior Python Engineer (Barcelona-based / Relocation support to Barcelona)
Job Description
Senior Python Engineer, Billing & Accounts
Manychat builds AI-powered automations that help creators and brands engage with their audiences on Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and TikTok.
We are 400+ people across three continents behind the leading platform for conversational growth.
As a Senior Python Engineer you will create the Python foundation for Manychat's Billing: payments, payment provider integrations, anti-fraud and local regulatory compliance, all tied to the pricing model every feature depends on.
There is no roadmap yet, so you will design systems end to end, make the architectural decisions and experiment with what works best.
Two mid-level engineers will join after you, and you will help them grow.
What you will do
Design and build Billing's Python foundation, where product features and the existing PHP backend work together.
Build async Python services for payments, payment provider integrations, invoicing, anti-fraud and regulatory compliance.
Design and integrate internal and third-party APIs with clear, stable contracts.
Build for failure: retries, idempotency, consistency and observability, so every payment is handled correctly.
Set the testing, CI/CD and rollout practices this layer runs on.
Mentor and set the technical bar for two mid-level engineers.




Work with cross-functional partners so your technical decisions fit how the business runs.
What we offer
Hybrid onboarding (start remotely) and relocation support for you and your family
Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family
Professional development budget for conferences, courses and learning resources
Adaptable benefits package tailored to your priorities
Hybrid work and generous leave options
In-office perks, including free meals and snacks
Company-funded sports activities, annual offsites and team-building events
Manychat is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Strong understanding of async programming and concurrency (AsyncIO, non-blocking I/O)




Experience with PostgreSQL and large datasets
Experience building and maintaining backend systems under production load
Strong testing practices (unit and integration tests; PyTest preferred), CI/CD pipelines and Docker
Strong engineering judgment: you design systems end to end and make architectural decisions on your own
Mentoring or leadership experience of any kind
Experience working in cross-functional teams, with clear communication
Nice to have
Experience with billing, invoicing or payment systems
Experience with PHP
A product mindset and scale-up experience
