Qualifications - Proven experience building backend services with Kotlin. - Experience with .NET (C#) services in a heterogeneous stack. - Hands-on experience with Maven in production projects (multi-modules, dependency management, build/release pipelines). - Integration engineering experience integrating external REST APIs and third-party platforms with real-world constraints. - Good foundations in system design for reliability: resilience patterns, idempotency, consistency, performance, and operability. - Solid understanding of SQL and relational databases (schema design, indexing, migrations, performance). - Comfortable with Git workflows and collaborative code reviews. - Experience applying testing practices and writing maintainable, testable code. - Comfortable working with cloud/production constraints (deployments, monitoring, incident/debug workflow). - Proficiency in English. Nice-to-have - Familiarity with the data domain (warehouses/lakes, catalogs, orchestration) and governance concepts. - Experience integrating data platforms such as Databricks (and/or similar ecosystems: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc.). - Understanding of metadata, lineage, schemas, and common enterprise data integration patterns. - Comfortable working with AI-assisted development tools (e.g. coding agents, copilots) as part of your daily workflow, and open to evolving your practices as these tools mature. - Experience building desktop applications in Kotlin (JavaFX / Compose for Desktop / Swing). - Angular knowledge (or frontend fundamentals) to support connector configuration/visibility in the product UI. - Experience with Kubernetes (especially EKS) and observability tooling. - Experience with event-driven ingestion patterns and/or queue-based processing.
