• Functional programming focus: Apply functional programming principles to build highly efficient, type-safe, and scalable services
• Architect & optimize: Ensure the architecture is future-proof, leveraging Kotlin’s functional capabilities
• Enhance security: Contribute to the evolution of our Web Application Scanner (WAS) by refining how it processes, scans, and evaluates vulnerabilities
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with backend, frontend, and security teams to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance
• Mentorship & innovation: Guide engineers in best practices for functional programming in Kotlin, while continuously improving the development workflow
  
  

What You’ll Need

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong backend focus
• Functional programming expertise: Strong experience with Scala (preferred) or functional Kotlin
• Kotlin proficiency: Experience with functional Kotlin (not object-oriented Kotlin)
• Microservices & cloud architecture: Deep knowledge of scalable, distributed systems in cloud environments
• Strong database skills: Proficiency in SQL/NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Elasticsearch
• Event-driven & messaging systems: Experience with Kafka, SQS, or SNS
• API & observability experience: Strong background in RESTful APIs, monitoring tools (Datadog, ELK, Prometheus, PagerDuty)
• DevOps & CI/CD: Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Jenkins, Gradle
• Security experience (bonus): Understanding of web application security scanning
  
  

And Ideally

• Prior experience working on on-prem applications or security-focused tools
• Experience migrating services from Scala to Kotlin
• Exposure to web application security scanning (WAS) tools
