  • Solid experience as a backend engineer, with expertise in Java and Spring Boot.

  • Strong knowledge of microservices architecture and distributed systems.

  • Deep understanding of system design principles and optimization techniques for performance, scalability, and security.

  • Quality-driven mindset, with a commitment to high coding standards, test automation, and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD).

  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize complex backend systems.

Who you are

  • You are a collaborative team player who values teamwork and enjoys working in a highly interactive environment.

  • You are passionate and energetic, willing to go the extra mile to tackle challenges and deliver high-quality solutions.

  • You drive innovation and continuously look for opportunities to improve processes, tools, and technologies.
