Requirements

  • We are looking for software engineers with strong backend and cloud infrastructure experience.

  • You should have strong experience with event-driven architectures, including pub/sub systems and event streaming platforms.
  • You should have experience with analytical databases or OLAP systems and understand storage, indexing, and query optimization.
  • You should be comfortable owning cloud infrastructure and working with infrastructure-as-code.
  • You should be comfortable writing backend code in strongly typed languages; Kotlin experience is a plus, but not required.
