- Improve observability, performance, and reliability of backend systems using DataDog
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes
- Work in and contribute to an AI-native development environment — including AI-integrated code review automation and an internal Claude Code plugin marketplace covering engineering standards: Kotlin/Spring Boot conventions, architectural patterns, testing practices, database guidelines, and team-specific conventions.
About You
- 5+ years of professional backend development experience with JVM languages with at least 2 years of commercial experience with Kotlin
- Hands-on experience with Spring Boot
- Experience building and maintaining REST APIs and distributed systems
- Solid SQL knowledge and relational database design, including MySQL and PostgreSQL

- Collaborative and pragmatic, comfortable working in cross-functional Agile teams
- Preferred: AWS, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Kafka, Terraform, LLM integrations, RAG systems, AI product development, or legacy system migration experience
We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
