This is a hands-on, impact-driven role where you’ll lead by example—writing clean code, driving technical decisions, and mentoring teammates. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that are robust, efficient, and user-focused.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of complex features aligned with team and company goals
• Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-documented code, setting a standard for others on the team
• Identify and drive improvements to systems, processes, and engineering practices
• Facilitate technical discussions, make informed decisions, and weigh trade-offs for scalability and performance
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and other Engineering squads to build effective, user-centered solutions
• Mentor peers through code reviews, pairing, and ongoing knowledge sharing
• Contribute to a positive, inclusive team culture aligned with company values

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise:

• Professional experience with Kotlin (or Java with a strong willingness to work in Kotlin)
• Solid understanding of Spring Boot 3 and scalable backend architecture
• Strong grasp of RESTful APIs, microservices, and integration patterns
• Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other relational databases
• Familiarity with automated testing (unit, integration, E2E) and test-driven development
• Understanding of monitoring, logging, metrics, and system observability
• Able to identify and address scalability issues and technical debt
• Comfortable making and justifying technical trade-offs and design choices
• Strong communicator and collaborative problem-solver
• Experience in an agile development environment with planning and estimation
• Proactive, ownership-driven mindset with a passion for delivering quality software
