## About the Role

* 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with clear evidence of owning features and components end to end within a team
 * Solid foundation in the JVM (Java and Kotlin)
 * Frontend experience (React, TypeScript, Node.js) is a strong plus. We work full-stack, and we expect engineers to pick up frontend work quickly where the role calls for it.
 * Production experience with event-driven systems; hands-on experience with Kafka is a strong plus
 * Working command of distributed systems fundamentals: idempotency, at-least-once vs exactly-once tradeoffs, schema evolution, partitioning
 * Comfortable applying common patterns (event-driven, API gateways) and a developing sense of when not to
 * Sound database judgment with relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational stores, including data modelling and query performance
 * A track record of delivering features and components to production reliably, with appropriate unit, ntegration, and end-to-end testing
 * Able to manage your own delivery: estimating work, sequencing it, raising delivery risks early, and resolving cross-team technical dependencies
 * Comfortable owning system design at team scope: producing designs during refinement using the C4 model, keeping them current, and aligning them with a domain target architecture
 * Familiar with how engineering delivery is measured (e.g. DORA metrics, stability, SSDLC compliance, velocity and predictability) and able to keep your own work healthy against it
 * Effective use of AI coding tools in your daily workflow. We use Claude Code; experience with similar tools (OpenAI Codex, opencode, Cursor and others) is fully transferable
 * Familiarity with cloud service providers, ideally Azure
 * Comfortable with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
