What it takes to succeed:
We're looking for people that make stuff work with:
- 3-5 years of experience in software development.
- Knowledge of one or more programming languages commonly used in software development, such as Java, with experience in the Spring Boot framework for building robust and scalable applications.
- Understanding of software engineering principles, data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design concepts, clean code, and SOLID principles
- Familiarity with software development tools and technologies, including integrated development environments (IDEs), version control systems (e.g. Git), and issue tracking systems (e.g. JIRA).
- Understanding of software practices such as Agile development methodologies, code reviews, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
- Skills in unit test and/or Test-Driven Development.
- Experience with multicloud kubernetes environments.
- Experience in leveraging Apache Kafka for building scalable, distributed systems and handling large volumes of data in real-time
- Ability to document requirements and specifications.
- Problem-solving skills.
We are looking for developers...
Who love to write great software
Who are passionate about their craft
Who are willing to learn, as well as coach
Let’s also not forget languages (not the programming kind); As you will work with colleagues located throughout the world, English is our company language so it's important that you be able to communicate at a fluent level, in both spoken and written form.
