You know how to write clean, idiomatic, and highly performant code. 6+ years of experience within the Spring Ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring Data). 6+ years of strong expertise in relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL or similar SQL databases, including query optimization and schema design. 6+ years of deploying systems to the cloud (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and a passion for automation, robust CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code. 6+ of being a strong advocate for Agile methodologies, TDD, and collaborative development. Even Better If You Have... Experience with Event-Driven Architectures and messaging systems (Pub/Sub, Kafka, or RabbitMQ). Familiarity with OpenAPI Standards (OAS) and designing public-facing RESTful APIs. Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). A background or strong interest in IoT, telematics, or electric vehicle (EV) data systems. ## Description Massive Scale, Real-World Impact: You will work on high-volume IoT ingestion pipelines and APIs. Your services will directly influence the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of millions of commercial vehicles. Modern Tech Stack & Best Practices: We are a team that believes in doing things the right way. We champion Test-Driven Development (TDD), clean code, robust CI/CD pipelines, and microservices architecture. True Autonomy: We operate in small, highly collaborative, product-minded teams. You won't just receive tickets; you will have a seat at the table to influence architecture, technical direction, and product strategy. A Culture of Continuous Learning: We embrace ambiguity as an opportunity to innovate. You will have the space to experiment with new technologies, mentor peers, and continuously level up your skills. What you'll do... As a Senior Engineer, you will be a technical anchor for a collaborative, cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and product managers. Architect & Scale: Design, develop, and deploy highly resilient, secure, and scalable backend microservices (using Kotlin/Java and Spring Boot) capable of handling massive telemetry data streams. Own the Lifecycle: Champion engineering excellence from inception to production. You will write clean, well-tested code (TDD), manage CI/CD pipelines, and deploy to modern cloud environments (GCP). Collaborate & Influence: Partner closely with Product Managers and UI/UX Designers to translate complex fleet management needs into elegant, developer-friendly APIs (OAS standards). Drive Operational Excellence: Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and proactive defect prevention. We build it, we run it, we continuously improve it. Mentor & Lead: Help elevate the team's technical capabilities by conducting thoughtful code reviews, sharing architectural best practices, and onboarding newer team members.
