What We Look For In You

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field, with over 8 years of experience in development and architecture.
• Proficiency in Java, hands-on experience with the Spring Cloud microservices technology stack, solid computer science fundamentals, and a grasp of Linux, storage, and network I/O principles.
• Possess experience in high-concurrency distributed system architecture or high-concurrency scenario component design and development, with an understanding of Java concurrency libraries.
• Understanding of core Middleware technologies like Nginx, Redis, ElasticSearch, Kafka, MySQL, Docker and Kubernetes.
• In-depth understanding of the business architecture currently managed, along with a strong methodology for architectural design.
• Capable of rationalizing architectural designs for new business lines and providing targeted optimization suggestions.
