Python Software Engineer(Hea Job/ 76)

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
