• Extensive experience and understanding of distributed systems – developing, profiling and maintaining multi-threaded, asynchronous applications


• Hands-on experience of working with Spring Boot, PostgreSQL and OpenShift


• Extensive experience of test-driven development and knowledge of CI/CD on large, complex systems


• Ability to deliver software on short cycles using Scrum/Agile methodology


• JVM monitoring, profiling, performance tuning and debugging (JConsole, JVisualVM, Elasticsearch/Logstash, Prometheus, OpenTracing)


• Self-driven and proactive, able to work independently with minimal supervision, with strong communication and stakeholder-management skills

Good to have:
