• Operate across the full SDLC—design, implement, test, deploy, observe, maintain, and refine software services.
• Collaborate with Product & Design to translate UX wireframes into accessible, performant interfaces and iterate based on customer feedback.
• Promote engineering excellence by documenting decisions, sharing knowledge in guild sessions, and mentoring peers across front- and back-end domains.

• Iterate within an Agile squad to turn product ideas into shippable increments across the stack—from Scala micro-services to other languages.
• Write idiomatic, reusable Scala with unit, property-based, and integration tests; uphold quality through rigorous code reviews.
• Deliver end-to-end solutions when necessary, including APIs and potential frontend touches.
• Collaborate across the full SDLC—design, implement, test, deploy, observe, maintain, and refine software services.

• Proven ability to develop high-performance, concurrent services and APIs (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, event-driven).
• Hands-on experience with modern data & messaging platforms (Kafka, Spark/Flink, Cassandra/DynamoDB, RabbitMQ or Pulsar) and ability to operate at scale.
• A growth mindset: curiosity, autonomy, and the drive to learn, experiment, and teach.
• Nice to have Cloud expertise—AWS services, Kubernetes/K8s/EKS, observability stacks, IaC, and automated multi-environment deployments (backend & frontend).
• Nice to have experience with modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, DuckDB, dbt, Airflow, Dagster).
