• Collaborate with other development teams to design solutions that integrate effectively with the services and capabilities owned by your team.
• Monitor the health, performance and availability of production systems, investigating issues and implementing sustainable improvements.
• Contribute your backend expertise to technical discussions, code reviews and continuous improvements while sharing knowledge with other developers.

Here is what will qualify you for the role:

• At least 5 years of software development experience, with strong experience developing backend systems in a cloud environment and solid Java knowledge.
• Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining reusable services for large-scale systems with complex infrastructure or a significant user base.
• Experience taking ownership of production services, including their reliability, performance, deployment and ongoing evolution.
• Strong problem-solving skills, resourcefulness and the ability to independently navigate complex technical challenges while collaborating effectively with others.

What will make you stand out:

• Experience developing backend applications with Spring Boot.
• Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and cloud-native architectures.
• Familiarity with infrastructure and orchestration technologies such as Terraform and Kubernetes.
• Experience with continuous integration systems such as GitHub Actions or equivalent.
