Python Software Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking seasoned Python developers to assist in a large-scale code conversion project. The project involves transforming a legacy codebase of image processing and deep learning computer vision algorithms from MATLAB to Python. The initial conversion has been performed using state-of-the-art AI capabilities (LLMs), and we now require human expertise to create a working code base. Duties and Responsibilities: Review and compare LLM converted Python code against original MATLAB code Debug syntax errors and correct logical inconsistencies in the Python code Ensure output consistency between MATLAB and Python implementations Implement proper error handling and logging mechanisms Develop comprehensive unit tests and integration tests Create clear and concise documentation for the converted code Optimize code for performance and readability wherever necessary Collaborate with team members to ensure end-to-end functionality Prepare code for containerization using Docker Adhere to best practices in software development and version control Minimum Qualifications: (To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily.) Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: Strong proficiency in Python programming with 6+ years of experience Familiarity with MATLAB syntax and conventions Strong problem-solving and debugging skills Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) Familiarity with Docker and containerization concepts Experience in code conversion projects Familiarity with scientific computing libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy) Knowledge of software testing frameworks (e.g., pytest) Experience with continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines Understanding of software development best practices and design patterns Implement proper logging mechanisms for easier debugging and monitoring Create comprehensive unit tests and integration tests to ensure code reliability Develop clear and concise documentation, including inline comments and README files Optimize code for performance, considering Python-specific best practices Ensure code adheres to PEP 8 style guidelines Implement type hinting for improved code readability and maintainability Create requirements.txt files for each repository to manage dependencies Participate in code reviews to maintain high code quality standards Provide regular progress reports and participate in team meetings Optional requirements: Experience with image processing and computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV, scikit-image) Knowledge of deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) Understanding of mathematical concepts related to image processing and computer vision Matlab, Python
