Job description

  • Design, develop, and continuously improve intelligent digital products and services that support employees and HR stakeholders, with AI at the core.
  • Apply modern engineering practices, from analyzing user needs and developing new features to automated testing, deployment, and observability.
  • Ensure quality, security, reliability, and compliance by applying digital principles and implementing functional and non-functional requirements.
  • Build observability into solutions, monitor production health, help resolve incidents, and remediate root causes of risks and issues.
  • Advocate for user and stakeholder needs, ensuring AI solutions are explainable, ethical, and human-centric.
  • Share knowledge openly, contribute to hiring and onboarding, and help shape a collaborative, forward-thinking engineering culture.

Requirements

  • Strong experience in Java and Spring Boot, including Spring Batch and Spring Cloud, and building microservices.
  • Proficiency in REST API and GraphQL schema design.
  • Experience with NoSQL data modelling, such as Azure Cosmos DB; data streaming, such as Confluent Kafka; and authentication/authorization protocols, including OAuth 2.0 and Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Familiarity with Azure Cloud Services, including App Services, Azure Monitor, and API Management.
  • Collaborative communication skills: able to express ideas clearly in English and adapt technical content for diverse audiences while working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers in agile settings.
