Python Backend Developer AI Systems Chicago, IL or Atlanta, GA 50% remote Must be able to commute weekly to one of the two locations Long-term / ongoing opportunity iSphere is looking for a Python Backend Developer who likes building things that actually get used.

This is a hands-on role supporting AI applications, focused on backend services, integrations, and making sure everything runs reliably once it’s live.

This is not a “build it and hand it off” role.

You’ll build it, deploy it, and support it.

Must haves • 3+ years of Python backend development experience

That includes designing services, handling async workflows, and making sure systems scale and perform the way they should.

You’ll integrate with enterprise systems like ITSM and CRM platforms, manage deployments in cloud environments, and maintain CI/CD pipelines.

You’ll also be responsible for monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving systems once they’re in production.

There’s a strong ownership component.

When something breaks, you’re part of figuring out why and fixing it.

This role is for someone who enjoys building backend systems, understands how they operate in production, and wants to work closer to AI-driven applications without losing the engineering side.

At iSphere, we look for engineers who take ownership of what they build and aren’t afraid to support it.

If that sounds like you, this one will fit.
