Your Profile

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with clear evidence of owning features and components end to end within a team
Solid foundation in the JVM (Java and Kotlin)
Frontend experience (React, TypeScript, Node.js) is a strong plus. We work full-stack, and we expect engineers to pick up frontend work quickly where the role calls for it.
Production experience with event-driven systems; hands-on experience with Kafka is a strong plus
Working command of distributed systems fundamentals: idempotency, at-least-once vs exactly-once tradeoffs, schema evolution, partitioning
Comfortable applying common patterns (event-driven, API gateways) and a developing sense of when not to
Sound database judgment with relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational stores, including data modelling and query performance
A track record of delivering features and components to production reliably, with appropriate unit, ntegration, and end-to-end testing
Able to manage your own delivery: estimating work, sequencing it, raising delivery risks early, and resolving cross-team technical dependencies
Comfortable owning system design at team scope: producing designs during refinement using the C4 model, keeping them current, and aligning them with a domain target architecture
Familiar with how engineering delivery is measured (e.g. DORA metrics, stability, SSDLC compliance, velocity and predictability) and able to keep your own work healthy against it
Effective use of AI coding tools in your daily workflow. We use Claude Code; experience with similar tools (OpenAI Codex, opencode, Cursor and others) is fully transferable
