Lead Backend Engineer Integrations

• Lead a team of engineers designing, developing and operating integration services that connect our customers' internal systems with Flip (e.g. HR systems, knowledge bases)
• Push forward our integration platform, a dedicated runtime environment for custom integrations (based on Kubernetes and ArgoCD).
• Our tech stack is mostly JVM-based (Kotlin, Micronaut), some components are written in Python and JavaScript.
• We work remote within international (mostly European), cross-functional agile teams.
• We develop software following modern software engineering practices (API first, code reviews, automated tests, MR environments for exploratory testing before a merge, and some tasteful experimental AI augmentation).
• We deploy (Kubernetes, Helm) and monitor (Grafana, Sentry, Mixpanel) our services within the teams, with the support of a separate team of SREs for on-call duty.
• Join customer calls together with your product manager to understand their specific problems and empower your team to build solutions that cover a majority of customer contexts.
• Take charge on technical topics that are important to you, driving significant decisions, and seeking alignment across teams within our backend guild.

Do you have experience in Spring Framework?, We're seeking a skilled, experienced engineer ready to step up and own complex integration challenges., * 5+ years of software engineering experience, working on backend systems

• You have designed, implemented, deployed and operated asynchronous backend services, ideally for data-heavy integrations with other systems
• Excellent communication skills, that enable you to directly work with customers, partners and other important stakeholders
• Relevant experience with Kotlin/Java and JVM frameworks (Spring, Micronaut)
• Interest in developing your own skills and those of your team

Nice to Haves:

• Experience working in SaaS startup environments
• Experience in building SaaS integrations (and specifically with OIDC/OAuth)
• Infrastructure experience (the integration runtime is built on Kubernetes and uses a GitOps workflow)
• Fullstack development experience (some integrations have frontend components)
