  • Unit (Jest, React Testing Library) 
  • Integration & E2E (Cypress/Playwright) 
• Ensure high code quality with strong test coverage and automation
• Champion a quality-first engineering culture

Backend & Distributed Systems

• Build and maintain backend services using: 
  • Java, Spring Boot
• Develop RESTful and event-driven APIs
• Work with: 
  • Postgres, NoSQL databases
  • Apache Kafka / streaming systems

System Design

• Architect solutions using modern design patterns and best practices
• Anticipate future needs and design for scalability and flexibility
• Evaluate technologies and make data-driven technical decisions
• Ensure strong observability (monitoring, logging, metrics)

Mentorship & Collaboration

• Mentor engineers and help grow technical talent 
• Collaborate across teams (product, design, engineering) 
• Lead discussions on architecture, design, and best practices
• Act as a technical leader and trusted advisor

What You Bring

Must-Have Skills & Experience

• 4 year degree or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of software development experience with at least one full cycle implementation
