What you need

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience building large-scale backend, platform, distributed systems, or cloud-native applications
  • Strong backend development experience with Java and Spring Boot, including building production-grade microservices and APIs
  • Experience with distributed systems concepts such as resiliency, idempotency, retries, fault tolerance, transactional workflows, eventual consistency, and durable state management
  • Experience with API-first platform development using REST, gRPC, OpenAPI, OAuth2, JWT, RBAC, audit logging, and secure service-to-service communication
  • Experience with cloud-native and event-driven technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka/RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Redis, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and production operations

Nice to have

  • Experience building provisioning, licensing, entitlement, commerce, billing, subscription lifecycle, or internal developer platforms at scale
  • Experience with workflow orchestration platforms such as Temporal, Cadence, Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster, as well as domain-driven design and event-driven architectures
  • Experience with Agentic AI, LLM-based workflows, tool calling, RAG, AI-assisted admin/developer experiences, or strong practical use of AI-assisted development tools; Python/FastAPI, Go, React, Next.js, or Material UI experience is a plus

What you get

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of team size or structure, which may affect collaboration and support

  • The salary range is broad and may vary significantly based on individual qualifications and experience
