💰 Competitive Salary

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Software Engineer to design, build, and scale innovative software solutions using modern technologies. If you’re passionate about clean code, cloud technologies, and collaborative problem-solving, we want to hear from you.

What will the role involve?

• Develop and maintain robust, scalable software using Java and TypeScript
• Deliver clean, well-tested code and promote software quality through code reviews and best practices
• Work in a cloud-native environment using AWS technologies
• Collaborate with engineers and product managers to design and deliver clearly scoped features
• Write and maintain unit and integration tests using tools like JUnit, Jest, and Mockito
• Support debugging and troubleshooting activities within a fast-paced, agile team

What are we looking for?

• Solid programming experience in at least one language (e.g., Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, Golang) and a willingness to learn additional languages/tooling.
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including OOP, functional programming, and design patterns.
• Experience with version control systems such as Git and collaborative development workflows (e.g., pull requests).
• Familiarity with writing unit and integration tests, including the use of mocking tools (e.g., Jest, JUnit, Mockito).
• Basic experience working with cloud services—particularly AWS (e.g., Lambda, S3, CloudWatch).
• Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively in a team setting.
• Understanding of secure coding practices and common vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10).

It would be a bonus if you also had:

• Experience working in TypeScript or Java in a production environment.
• Exposure to serverless technologies (e.g., AWS Lambda, DynamoDB).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes.
