- Write high-quality, maintainable code with TDD and BDD practices and participate in code reviews
- Decompose monolithic applications into scalable microservices
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, senior staff, and principal engineers to design and deliver solutions

- Strong proficiency in backend languages (Java, Kotlin, or similar)
- Experience designing and building scalable microservices
- Hands-on with cloud-native technologies and RESTful APIs
- Solid understanding of software design principles (SOLID) and design patterns
- Experience with relational databases (e.g., MySQL) and security best practices
- Comfortable working in Agile environments and using CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins)
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills
Desirable / Nice-to-Have
- Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Bash)
- Exposure to NoSQL databases (DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, etc.)
- Familiarity with event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform, SAM, etc.)
Why Join This Engineering Hub
- Work on critical systems that process and authenticate user-generated content at scale
- Be part of a highly collaborative, technically proficient, and globally connected team
- Influence engineering standards, architecture, and product capabilities
- Take ownership of end-to-end solutions with visibility to senior engineering leadership
