Résumé du poste

SOFICO in Ghent is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to help build the distributed workflow platform that connects Miles with AI-powered capabilities.

You’ll design reliable, long-running processes, implement with Temporal, Java/Quarkus and Python, and integrate with enterprise systems while driving testing, monitoring and observability.

Hybrid work arrangement is available, with a focus on collaboration and ongoing learning within the AI-enabled software stack.

Qualifications

• Experience building distributed, asynchronous or event-driven systems in production.
• Solid understanding of designing reliable systems around failures, retries, state and transactions.
• Experience with microservices, APIs and automated testing.
• Exposure to workflow/orchestration technologies (Temporal, Camunda, Conductor, Azure Durable Functions) and event-driven tech (Kafka, RabbitMQ).

Responsabilités

• Build reliable distributed workflows that coordinate business-critical processes across Miles and the SOFICO AI Cloud.
• Design systems that remain reliable when things go wrong, including retries and idempotency.
• Develop integrations between our workflow platform, Java/Quarkus services, AI components and enterprise systems.
• Build testing, monitoring and observability around long-running business processes.
• Help shape engineering standards and architecture for a new backend platform at the intersection of backend engineering, distributed systems and AI.
