• Contributing to the architecture and evolution of data-processing and query infrastructure.
• Working with concurrency, parallelism and fault tolerance within the JVM ecosystem.
• Developing new functionality across streaming, graph and data-processing components.
• Investigating complex technical problems and identifying robust, maintainable solutions.
• Working closely with engineers, architects and product colleagues to translate requirements into effective technical solutions.
• Contributing to technical documentation and sharing knowledge across the engineering team.

Job requirements:

• Strong commercial experience with Scala or another functional programming language - minimum 3+ years
• Experience designing and building robust distributed systems and protocols - minimum 3+ years
• Strong understanding of concurrency and parallelism on the JVM.

• Ability to learn new technologies and apply them effectively.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
• Comfortable contributing to technical documentation and presenting ideas to colleagues.

Desirable experience:

• Experience with graph databases or graph algorithms.
• Experience working with Kafka or similar streaming technologies.
• Experience with distributed NoSQL databases such as Cassandra, ScyllaDB or comparable technologies (in large clusters)
• Previous experience working within a small, rapidly growing technology company.

Benefits:

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k)
