Software Backend Engineer (Java)

Our tech stack is varied at the moment. Embarrassing honesty - We are in the process of migrating some of our products off legacy stacks.

• Backend services: Java(SpringBoot and SpringCloud), Python (to a lesser extent)
• Public Cloud: AWS
• CI/CD tooling: CircleCI, ArgoCD, Jenkins
• Container orchestration: Kubernetes
• IaC: Terraform
• API Gateway and Service Mesh Architecture
• Databases: PostgreSQL, NoSQL, The ZEPZ Backoffice (ZBO) team is responsible for developing both Front-End and Back-End solutions to enhance Customer Care Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In this role, you will interact with back-end systems across various domains via APIs to streamline processes for Customer Care Agents. You will be instrumental in building and extending APIs (GraphQL, gRPC), automating processes using Business Process Management (BPM) tools, AI Agents, and custom AWS solutions, and integrating UI components orchestrated by back-end code. We operate on short, one-week sprints, ensuring that tasks are well-defined, refined, and granular enough to support an efficient build-test-release cycle within this timeframe. As a team, we take full ownership of our solutions from design to operation, which includes developing new features as well as implementing robust monitoring, alerting, and integration with security platforms for effective threat alerting.
