• Collaborate with cross-functional partners, including engineering, product management, and design, to turn business requirements into reliable technical solutions.
• Build and maintain cloud-native applications, leveraging microservices, containerization, and modern infrastructure practices.
• Contribute to system design discussions, architectural improvements, and technical decisions that improve scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
• Troubleshoot production issues, improve observability, and proactively identify opportunities to strengthen system reliability.
• Leverage AI-powered development tools such as Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Help improve our AI-enabled engineering workflows, including development, testing, code reviews, deployment, and automation.
• Participate in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment using Kanban, continuous delivery, and daily deployments.
• Contribute to code reviews, share technical knowledge, and help maintain high standards for engineering quality.

What You Bring to the Team

• Strong hands-on software engineering experience, with a focus on backend development and building production-grade applications.
• Proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, or strong experience with comparable backend technologies and a willingness to work in our core stack.
• Experience designing, developing, and maintaining RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of databases, data modeling and SQL
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS and containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and modern software development practices.
• Understanding of system design principles, application performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Experience troubleshooting production issues and supporting applications in live environments.
• Familiarity with messaging and asynchronous processing technologies such as Kafka, ActiveMQ, or Redis.
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools, or a strong interest in incorporating AI into everyday engineering workflows.
• Strong problem-solving skills, technical curiosity, and a commitment to writing clean, maintainable code.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and cross-functional stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability, with a willingness to continuously learn and improve.
