Backend Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated the complexities of distributed systems. Your deep expertise in Java and Spring Boot means you've shipped high-throughput APIs that handle millions of requests, and you have strong opinions on service architecture, dependency injection, and testing strategies. You are familiar with cloud-native technologies and have experience with tools like Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and Terraform, which you leverage to create scalable and efficient systems. You understand the importance of collaboration and have worked closely with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions. You are also open to contributing to open source projects, extending your influence beyond your immediate team. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement.
