Qualifications

What You Bring

• Experience building modern software applications at scale
• Good knowledge of Java and Spring-based development

Nice to Have

• Experience in payments or e-commerce environments
• Exposure to observability and monitoring tools
• Interest in AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot

Don’t meet every requirement? We’d still love to hear from you. We value potential, mindset, and engineering fundamentals as much as direct experience.
