From the original posting

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:

You will work closely with other functional areas in the company—product, Marketing, and Front-end engineers—to rapidly iterate on our product and find the best solutions to our challenges.
You will take ownership of features – from inception through design and coding, eventually bringing your feature to production at a high level of quality and test coverage.
You'll have the opportunity to grow into a mentoring role - supporting and guiding team members, collaborating closely with the team lead, and contributing to a sense of shared ownership across the domain.

What We Need:

At least 5 years of proven experience in Backend development. Java/Kotlin or similar languages (Python, .NET).
Experience in a senior role, with a track record of taking end-to-end ownership of projects and mentoring junior or mid-level engineers.
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.
Experience working with Relational Databases and good SQL skills.
Adaptable, with a passion for quickly learning new technologies and working effectively in a dynamic environment
Good interpersonal and communication skills
