• Design and manage databases using Postgres SQL for efficient data storage and retrieval.
• Implement message queueing systems using Kafka for asynchronous communication between services.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and implement solutions that meet business needs.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues in existing applications as needed.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies and industry trends to continuously improve development processes and practices.
  
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on backend and systems engineering.
• Proficiency in either Go, Python or Java.
• Experience with scalable architecture patterns (monolith or service-oriented).
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, etc.
• Strong knowledge of API development (REST and GraphQL).
• Proficiency in Postgres SQL for database design and management.
• Familiarity with Kafka or similar message queueing systems.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.
  
  
  

What you’ll get from us:

• Our people: If you thrive in an inclusive, innovative, and fast-paced organization, look no further! You will get to work alongside some of the brightest minds - Join a genuinely fun and supportive workplace where we keep our employees consistently engaged through internal communication and corporate events
