Your role in our team

As an Experienced Scala Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and implementing backend services on existing or new microservices, integrate with third-party APIs, and help run all of this in production. You will work tightly with our frontend developers as well as with our AI Engineers.

 

You will focus on

  • Playing an integral part in the design and architecture of our gamification platform
  • Developing features in a fast paced startup environment without compromising automated tests or neglecting software craftsmanship
  • Working on our distributed, real-time engine that handles millions of events per day
  • Getting our system ready to scale by one order of magnitude
  • ‘Big Picture’ thinking
  • Help the AI team implement distributed machine learning algorithms
  • Coaching and mentoring Juniors in the team

What you bring to the table

  • 4 years professional experience with Scala Software Engineering
  • 3-4 years experience working with complex data sets in a data driven company
  • Experiences with stream processing as well as with designing and implementing REST APIs
  • Diverse technology knowledge and a sense of curiosity combined with strong problem solving skills
  • Experience with at least some of the technologies used: Akka, Akka-Stream, Akka-Http, Kafka, ElasticSearch, MongoDB
  • Experience with deploying services to Kubernetes and running software in production on Google Cloud (or AWS/Azure)
  • BS/Masters degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • A Github or StackOverflow profile is always a good way to impress us; so feel free to include it in your application!
  • Being part of an early stage startup we sometimes need you to wear multiple hats just to keep things going, hence being a team player is a must have.

You will work with some of the best global talent to build a tool used by great companies like Miro, Marley Spoon, Footlocker, Soundcloud, Tripaneer or WeTransfer. You will be part of a team of diverse and passionate people with a culture that empowers great work.
