Aws Python Developer Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

Neuberger is looking for a curious and motivated Junior Python Developer to join our growing engineering team. You'll help build reliable, scalable server-side applications in a modern, AI-augmented development environment — leveraging cutting-edge tools to work smarter, ship cleaner code, and grow fast.

If you're comfortable writing clean Python, have hands-on experience with containerized workflows, and are genuinely excited about the future of AI-assisted development, we want to hear from you.

Software Development

• Build and implement server-side features, modules, and components in Python following clean code and best practice standards
• Collaborate with product and design teams to translate business requirements into well-structured, maintainable code
• Participate in code reviews — giving and receiving constructive feedback

AI-Augmented Development

• Use AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) responsibly to accelerate development, improve code quality, and reduce repetitive boilerplate
• Apply a working understanding of LLMs — tokenization, context windows, prompt construction, and model limitations — to integrate them sensibly
• Identify the right use cases for AI tooling vs. traditional logic, and flag risks like hallucinated outputs or sensitive data exposure

Containerized & Cloud-Aware Development

• Write and maintain Dockerfiles and work within containerized development environments
• Apply core container concepts: images, containers, volumes, networking, and basic orchestration (Docker Compose, Kubernetes/OpenShift)
• Contribute to deployable, environment-consistent application packaging

Agile Scrum

• Participate in sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and reviews
• Break down user stories into actionable tasks and deliver working software within sprint timelines
• Maintain transparency with the team on progress, blockers, and dependencies

Quality & Testing

• Write and maintain unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and regression safety
• Debug and resolve defects from testing or production monitoring
• Collaborate with QA to develop test cases and uphold software quality

• Python: 3+ years of hands-on experience
• Frameworks: Proficiency in Flask, FastAPI, or Django
• AI Tools: Working experience with GitHub Copilot, Claude, or comparable LLM-based coding assistants
• LLM Awareness: Understanding of tokens, context, prompting, limitations, and responsible use
• Containers: Hands-on Docker experience — build, run, and debug containerized applications
• Version Control: Proficient with Git (branching, PRs, rebasing)
• Testing: Ability to write meaningful unit tests; familiarity with pytest or similar
• ORM: Working knowledge of SQLAlchemy, Django ORM, or equivalent

• Familiarity with Kubernetes, OpenShift, or container orchestration concepts
• Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
• Experience calling or integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI)
• Understanding of RAG patterns or vector stores
• Basic front-end literacy: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3
• Familiarity with server-side templating (e.g., Jinja2)
• Understanding of async or multi-process architecture (asyncio, multiprocessing)
