Our Backend Software Engineer can expect to work with the latest backend technologies and programming languages. We’re big fans of server-side Kotlin, and we produce clean, testable code fast and push it into production several times a day via our CI / CD pipeline.

What You’ll Do:

Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code, ensuring high performance and responsiveness of the system.
Participate in architectural discussions and code reviews, actively contributing to elevating our engineering standards and best practices.
Identify bottlenecks, optimize database queries, and continuously improve system performance and scalability.
Embrace a 'you build it, you run it' approach, ensuring our production environments remain highly stable and observable.

What We Need:

At least 3 years of proven experience in Backend development. Java/Kotlin or similar languages (Python, .NET).
A B.Sc. in Computer Science or equivalent is a must.
Excellent knowledge and understanding of OOP concepts and best practices
Hands-on development of highly distributed, cloud-based environments - an advantage. We work with AWS, but any cloud experience is a plus.

Adaptable, with a passion for quickly learning new technologies and working effectively in a dynamic environment
Good interpersonal and communication skills
Experience leading large-scale features from end-to-end is a significant plus
