Role Description The role is about: - Dual-Track Maintenance: Support and extend the existing Perl-based payment gateway debugging production issues and adding features while the migration is ongoing. - Modernization: Design, develop, and maintain modern server-side components in Python, ensuring high performance and scalability. - Integrations: Integrate third-party APIs and external payment services into both legacy and modern platform layers. - Agile Collaboration: Maintain clean and strong English communication to effectively collaborate with multiple stakeholders across departments working in agile sprints. - Product Thinking: Go beyond the "what" and "how" of the code bring a product-focused mindset to understand the business logic and user impact of what you build. - Engineering Standards: Participate in code reviews, uphold high code quality standards, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement. - Infrastructure: Work closely with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and cloud deployments. Qualifications - Python Expertise: 5+ years of backend engineering experience with strong Python mastery (AsyncIO and FastAPI preferred). - Legacy Flexibility: Experience with Perl (or a genuine eagerness to learn and work within Perl production code). We value polyglot engineers who can read and refactor legacy code. - API Mastery: Solid experience integrating third-party APIs and a deep understanding of webhooks, callbacks, and retry policies. - Tech Stack: Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab preferred), Docker containerization, and familiarity with AWS (Lambda, cloud services). - Architecture: Exposure to event-driven architectures (Kafka, message queues, etc.). - Clean & Intentional Code: We value deep engineering logic over AI-generated snippets. You should be a "clean code" advocate who can explain the reasoning behind every line you ship. - Curiosity for Product: You care about the "why" behind a feature. You are interested in how a product works for the end-user and the business. - English Proficiency: Strong English communication skills—both written and verbal—to collaborate across multi-functional teams. Requirements - Location: Remote from Portugal / Ukraine (Contractor arrangement) - Reporting to: Technical Lead Hiring Process - Step 1: Initial Interview – A 30–40 minute online interview with a Talent Acquisition Partner where we explore your experience, motivations, and overall fit for our modernization culture. - Step 2: Live Technical Assessment Interview – A 90-minute live coding challenge and system design discussion with our field technical experts. - Step 3: Final Discussion – A 30-minute conversation with our CTO, CPO, and TA Partner to discuss behavioral traits, background, and clarify the domain scope. Benefits - Grow with Us: Annual Learning Budget for professional development (eligible after probation)—because your growth is our growth. - Celebrate Together: We bring colleagues from all offices together for unforgettable company celebrations. - Global Collaboration & Events: Opportunities to participate in international company events and initiatives, connecting with colleagues from all regions and contributing to a truly global community.

• Lead technical excellence while architecting and delivering scalable Java solutions that power our next-generation gaming platform • Design and implement complex, scalable system architectures while mentoring team members and driving technical excellence • Lead code reviews and establish best practices to ensure high-quality deliverables across the engineering team • Optimize database performance and design robust data solutions, particularly with PostgreSQL and query optimization • Architect and maintain messaging systems using Kafka or similar technologies to handle high-volume data streams • Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues, taking full ownership of system reliability and performance • Facilitate technical discussions and foster collaborative problem-solving across cross-functional teams

• As a Senior Backend Developer at Bridgit, you'll take ownership of designing, testing, and building new backend solutions, while also evolving and maintaining our existing systems. • You'll focus on creating scalable, reliable services that power real impact for construction teams. • This is a role for someone who wants to build at the intersection of solid backend engineering and applied AI - increasingly, the services you ship will incorporate LLM-powered capabilities, and we're looking for someone genuinely excited to explore how technologies like large language models can enhance both our product and our team's developer experience.

• Build, scale, and maintain robust web applications across the stack • Work on real client products and internal systems • Collaborate with at least one other developer and senior engineers • Each project will have a dedicated project manager
