Job description
As an Application Engineer, you will work within a cross-functional product team, building and scaling features that are used directly by customers.

- Work with high-volume, data-heavy systems where performance and scalability matter
- Collaborate closely with product managers, QA, and AI-focused R&D teams

- PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis
- AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
- Java / Python experience is an advantage
Requirements

- Typically 3-5 years of commercial software engineering experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates
- Experience building production software, ideally in a full stack environment
- Strong problem-solving ability and logical thinking
