Key ResponsibilitiesFeature Development: Build and ship production-grade APIs, working primarily in Java with some functional logic in Scala.
Code Craftsmanship: Drive the development lifecycle by reviewing peer code and translating complex technical requirements into scalable software.
Performance Engineering: Write highly optimized code for parallelism and concurrency, ensuring our applications can handle heavy data loads without bottlenecks.
Distributed Systems Architecture: Design, build, and maintain highly scalable distributed systems that process millions of events per day with low latency and high availability.
Data Pipeline Development: Build and optimize real-time and batch data pipelines using Apache Spark and/or Apache Flink to process large-scale datasets efficiently.
Observability: Use Splunk and Grafana to monitor application health and write PromQL queries to troubleshoot and optimize performance.
Required Skills & ExperienceThe Stack: Deep expertise in Java
Distributed Systems: Hands-on experience designing and operating highly scalable distributed systems, including understanding of CAP theorem, eventual consistency, and distributed consensus protocols.
Data Processing Frameworks: Production experience building data pipelines with Apache Spark and/or Apache Flink for both batch and stream processing workloads.
Storage Systems: Practical experience with distributed storage systems such as Apache Cassandra (or similar NoSQL databases) and PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and operational management.
Data Structures: Advanced knowledge of data structures and experience building robust data pipelines.
Containerization: Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for daily development and deployment.

Required Skills & Experience5+ years backend engineering experience with advanced Java knowledge (JVM internals, concurrency, multithreading).
