Development and Technical Contribution

• Design and develop robust, scalable backend components using Java and the Spring framework (Spring Boot, Spring Web, etc.).

• Contribute to the redesign and modernization of a legacy Python-based system.

• Contribute to API design, system architecture, and performance tuning for the team’s services.

• Identify and resolve complex technical challenges, and continuously improve code quality, maintainability, and system performance.

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the performance, availability, and throughput of the team’s services, including automating recovery from failure states.

Collaboration and Delivery

• Work closely with fellow engineers, Product Managers, and infrastructure teams to deliver features and improvements.

• Participate in and, where appropriate, help drive design reviews, sprint planning, and technical discussions.

• Share knowledge and provide clear, constructive feedback through code reviews and pairing, and help onboard and support fellow engineers.

• Communicate effectively across the team and collaborate with other departments when needed.

Delivery and Ownership

• Take ownership of the design, implementation, and delivery of features.

• Provide clear effort estimates, contribute to defining the “definition of done,” and ensure timely, reliable delivery of your work.

• Deliver high-quality code with a strong focus on testing, reliability, and performance.

Monitoring and Support

• Contribute to improving monitoring and observability for both new and existing systems.

• Support production systems by diagnosing and resolving issues quickly.

• Proactively improve system reliability and reduce operational burden through automation and architectural improvements.

• Experience with networking, proxies, and handling asynchronous or distributed workflows.

• Ability to collaborate effectively in an agile development environment, including supporting fellow engineers through code review.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving skills, and fluent written and spoken English.

(AMAZING IF YOU ALSO HAVE):

• Working knowledge of Python 3.9+ (or willingness to learn) to interact with and understand parts of the legacy system.

• Experience with web crawling, scraping, or data ingestion pipelines.

• Exposure to monitoring, observability tools, and distributed tracing (e.g. Kibana, Grafana, Prometheus).
