We are (for quite some time already) breaking apart Java monolith into highly specialized small services and expect you to share the challenge of designing practical and clean APIs as well as implementing them. We strive for technical excellence, and our computational backends are an ever-ending source of challenges and inspiration for that. We value leaders who can’t live with things done wrong, encourage teammates for changes, and drive these changes. You will be working in the small team of 3-5 people; we expect you to help us to gain velocity needed to embody our vision of computational backend architecture for our platform.
