and event sourcing patterns in a production-grade environment.

Must Have Requirements:

• Education & Work Experience:

We require a
Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field,

or equivalent work experience.

This foundational knowledge is critical for understanding core software engineering principles.

The role demands at least
10 years of total software development experience

, with a minimum of
6 years of hands-on, directly relevant experience

in building platforms or microservices.

We are looking for someone who has a track record of driving projects to completion, which is why we also require a minimum of
4 years of product and domain experience

and at least
2 years of leadership experience

in a technical capacity.

• Technical Expertise:

This role is for a senior contributor, and as such, you must have a proven, hands-on background building and deploying microservices.

Expertise with
Kubernetes

.

This architectural approach is fundamental to our distributed system's design.

• Database Proficiency:

Experience with
Azure Cosmos DB

or similar distributed NoSQL databases is required.

You should understand how these databases operate at scale and how to optimize them for performance within a microservices environment.

• Software Development Lifecycle & Agile:

We operate in an Agile environment, and you must be an expert in the software product development lifecycle.

This includes the ability to accurately estimate tasks, analyze requirements, and contribute effectively within an iterative development framework.

• Remote Work & Communication Skills:

This is a fully remote role, and effective communication is paramount.

We require a
Conversational English fluency level (B1 CEFR equivalent)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

Experience with infrastructure automation using
Terraform

and cloud operations in Azure is a strong plus.

Familiarity with
Terraform

and infrastructure as code practices is highly valued.
- Kubernetes:

While some Kubernetes experience is a must, deeper knowledge of advanced Kubernetes concepts like custom resource definitions (CRDs), operators, and service meshes is a strong plus.
