Ciklum is looking for a Senior Python Developer to join our team full-time in Ukraine.
We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.
About the role:
We are seeking a Senior Python Engineer that will focus on a lightweight installable agent that runs on managed endpoints, collects deep system and software inventory locally, and pushes enriched data to client's CMDB to complement agentless discovery.
Responsibilities:
Develop Cross-Platform Agents: Write lightweight, resource-efficient agents in Python or Go that run natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS
Build Local Discovery Logic: Implement system-level queries to collect deep inventory data, including hardware specs, installed software, and patch status
Engineer Secure Communication: Design and implement secure telemetry channels using mTLS and token-based authentication for agent-to-server reporting
Create Deployment Packages: Own the build process for enterprise-ready installers, specifically MSI (Windows), RPM, and DEB (Linux) for silent deployment via tools like SCCM or Ansible
Implement Lifecycle Management: Develop robust mechanisms for auto-updates, heartbeat signals, and health monitoring to manage a fleet of thousands of agents
Design Offline Resilience: Build local caching and retry logic to ensure data integrity during intermittent network connectivity or server downtime
Architect Ingestion Pipelines: Build the server-side "manager" to handle high-concurrency check-ins and process incoming JSON payloads at scale
Optimize Performance: Ensure the agent maintains a minimal footprint (CPU/RAM) on host systems to avoid impacting end-user productivity
