• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, following best practices and leading by example.

• Participate in and lead code reviews, providing clear and constructive feedback to help the team grow.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues to ensure the delivery of high-quality software.

• Stay current with industry trends and apply new technologies to improve our products and processes.

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

• 6–10 years of experience developing and maintaining production-grade software.

• Proficiency in Java with Spring Boot, Python, or C.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to clearly articulate complex technical concepts.

• Proven ability to solve problems and work independently in a fast-paced setting.

• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with event-driven architectures and streaming platforms such as Redpanda or Apache Kafka.

• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized deployments.

• Knowledge of Agile development methodologies and CI/CD practices.

• Experience with Machine Learning, including ML pipelines, model integration, or production AI/ML systems.

• Experience with Python for data processing, automation, or ML-related applications.

• Experience with additional programming languages or frameworks.
