Job description

  • Collaborate & Share Knowledge. You will be an active member of the squad, reviewing PRs, documenting your work, and sharing knowledge with peers. You will act as a subject matter expert for the specific components you own, ensuring the team moves forward together. The Experience You Will Need

Requirements

  • Solid Backend Engineering (3+ years). You have a track record of building and maintaining backend systems. You write clean, testable code and care about software craftsmanship.
  • Polyglot Versatility (Java & Python). You are comfortable with one of the core languages: Java (for integration with the Core Sonar ecosystem) or Python (for AI/Agent logic). You pick up new tools and syntax quickly.
  • Cloud Operations (AWS). You understand how your code runs in the cloud. You have experience with AWS (Lambda, ECS, or similar) and are comfortable with deployment pipelines, logging, and basic infrastructure monitoring.
  • Systems Fundamentals. You understand how different services talk to each other (REST, queues, async processing). You know how to debug a distributed system when things go wrong.
  • Interest in AI/LLMs. You are excited about the potential of AI in software development. Experience using LLM APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic) is a plus, but a willingness to learn how to integrate them into backend workflows is essential.
  • Ownership Mindset. You don't just "take tickets." You own the delivery of your tasks, raising risks when necessary and ensuring your work meets high quality standards before it reaches production. Why You Will Love It Here
