• Collaborate with the AI workflow, server, and platform teams to achieve the team’s mission.
• Participate in architecture and design reviews to build high-quality software that is scalable and API-first.
• Troubleshoot production issues across the technical stack using logs, metrics, and traces.

About You

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent work experience.
• 10+ years of experience in Java software development for product applications, or equivalent, with solid expertise in Kotlin.
• Python experience is a plus but not required — we value adaptable engineers who can work across languages as needed.
• 4+ years of experience working with highly scalable software systems.
• Experience leveraging AI tooling to accelerate software development.
• Experience working on systems at scale and finding solutions to scale systems further.
• Working knowledge of a breadth of OOP design principles.
• Expertise in scaling data structures and object-oriented design.
• Knowledge of API best practices and REST service development using frameworks like Jersey or Spring.
• Relational database design and development experience.
• Experience with both client- and server-side development for responsive messaging.
• Caching systems expertise; experience with Redis will make you a standout candidate.
• Expert knowledge of quality testing practices.
