• The ideal candidate is passionate about addressing a wide range of technical challenges—not just frontend or backend, but also complex problems involving infrastructure, distributed programming, containerization, cloud architectures, and integrations
• You're a software engineer with experience developing robust and scalable solutions
• You're passionate about solving real-world problems with proven technologies and building elegant, scalable systems
• You write simple, sophisticated, well-structured and well-tested code that drives new features and improvements
• You have worked in a collaborative agile environment through the whole application lifecycle using languages like Java and Groovy, as well as backend and frontend frameworks like Micronaut, Angular, Rails, React, Spring, Flask etc
• Expertise in Java is a solid plus; in its absence, experience in similar languages and the ability to learn rapidly is important
• You are comfortable with ambiguity - you’re able to quickly develop hypotheses with limited information and have a demonstrated ability to learn complex concepts quickly
• You drive tasks independently, while proactively reaching out for help and additional resources when needed to keep yourself unblocked
• You have built strong foundational knowledge in software engineering with experience in both front-end and back-end development: confident and proficient in implementing efficient algorithms, using best practices in coding standards, and adhering to security measures to protect data integrity and prevent vulnerabilities
• Experience with cloud architectures and cloud application deployments, having worked with at least one major cloud provider ( such as AWS) and built distributed architecture on top of its service offering
