Description

  • Contribute to backend development within the company’s Kotlin-based microservices platform, delivering high-performance, clear, and reliable services.
  • Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform).
  • Operate and improve Kubernetes-based production systems to ensure availability, performance, and resilience.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) to enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments.
  • Improve observability across the stack (metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, SLOs, dashboards) using Datadog and related tooling.
  • Participate in on-call rotations, incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-incident reviews, and drive continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate with product and design to understand user needs, shape product direction, and validate ideas through prototypes and experiments.
  • Partner with other product teams to integrate new features into an event-driven architecture using Kafka streams and domain services.
  • Make small-to-medium frontend (React) changes when needed and collaborate with frontend-focused engineers and designers to support feature delivery.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with hands-on exposure to backend development, DevOps/infrastructure, and some frontend work.
  • Proficiency in at least one backend programming language used in production systems and willingness to complete a JVM-based coding assignment (Kotlin preferred).
  • Prior Kotlin experience is a plus but not required.
  • Solid hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM).
  • Practical experience with Infrastructure-as-Code, preferably Terraform.
  • Experience operating applications in Kubernetes, including deployments, manifests, Helm, and debugging.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD systems, preferably GitLab CI/CD, and experience building CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
  • Comfortable writing production code and scripts (e.g., Kotlin, Python, Go, Bash) and automating to remove toil.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, networking fundamentals, system design trade-offs, and modern security practices (IAM, secrets management, infrastructure hardening).
  • Based in the European timezone, fluent in English (spoken and written), comfortable working remotely and asynchronously, and willing to be flexible with working hours; proficiency with AI-powered engineering tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) is expected.
