Senior Java Engineer (Kafka)

You will work on the components responsible for the communication between our platform and the endpoints installed on our customers’ devices, ensuring their reliability, consistency, scalability and observability.

Join a team of diverse and experienced engineers that has a full understanding of the components they build or use. The components built by the team are fully owned by the team, right from the requirements and design phase, all the way through implementation, validation and deployment.

You are highly motivated, result-driven, and detail-oriented. You have a high sense of product ownership and consider your work done only after getting results on user behavior and business metrics. You constantly learn and are willing to share and help others grow.

As senior software engineer, you will:

• Build and operate cutting-edge software to acquire data from our customer-side endpoints into our backend.
• Participate in the design and development of the infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Istio, Kafka) to support our software.
• Design and implement scaling strategies to achieve high availability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
• Help in support cases, from the technical investigation to the resolution and the post-mortem, in collaboration with our L3 Support and our SRE teams.
• Thrive in an agile environment, where continuous improvement and fast feedback are constant concerns.
• Collaborate across engineering teams, PMs, architects, quality engineers, and SRE teams.
