About the role

In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing microservices in a distributed deployment environment with an emphasis on containerisation with Docker and K8S. You won’t just be writing simple CRUD applications, but instead will be working on the core logic of complex systems that are accessed millions of times a day. We wrote our system from scratch about 3 years ago, so you’ll be working with the latest technology and won’t have to worry about decades old legacy code.

A willingness to work in Springboot is fine - as long as you are willing to learn and have demonstrable experience in an object-oriented programming language.


Our Stack (we don't expect you to have all of these)

Language: Java 17
Frameworks: Spring Boot (Tomcat, Netty), Spring Data, Spring Cloud
Architecture: Microservices, REST API, Message Queues
Database: MySQL, MyBatis, ShardingSphere, MongoDB
Caching: Redis (AWS ElastiCache), ElasticSearch
Message Queue: RocketMQ
Cloud: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS
Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, AWS CloudWatch

  • Participate in all team ceremonies including planning, grooming, product demonstration and team retrospectives
