## About the Role

* 2-5 years of professional software engineering experience.
 * Working proficiency in Python, with experience building and maintaining services or APIs.
 * Exposure to event-driven systems or message queues (Kafka experience a plus, not required) and a willingness to build deeper expertise here.
 * Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) and modern CI/CD and testing practices.
 * Comfortable using or learning agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) as part of the day-to-day workflow.
 * Strong fundamentals: clear written communication, careful code review habits, and a bias toward asking questions when scope or requirements are unclear.
 * Eagerness to learn distributed systems and enterprise integration patterns from senior team members.

## Description

* Implement and maintain services that participate in our Kafka-based event streaming architecture, under the guidance of senior team members.
 * Build and support enterprise integration services as part of the migration off legacy platforms.
 * Use agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar technologies to scope, implement, and troubleshoot well-defined tasks, with your work reviewed against the same standards applied to any pull request.
 * Write and maintain automated tests, and participate actively in code review - both giving and receiving feedback.
 * Collaborate with Product Managers, Platform Engineers, and other Software Engineers on day-to-day feature and integration work.
 * Investigate and fix defects surfaced during development, testing, or production support, escalating ambiguous or architectural questions to senior engineers.
 * Contribute to documentation for the services and patterns you work on.
 * Learn and apply the team's conventions for Kafka topic design, schema evolution, and service migration patterns.
