Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in software engineering, with experience across both frontend and backend development. Proficiency in our core technology stack—Java Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, and TypeScript/React—is essential. Candidates should have demonstrated experience designing and implementing microservices or domain-driven architectures, working with asynchronous, event-driven communication, and applying modern DevOps practices such as CI/CD and containerization. A solid understanding of security best practices, incident management, and operational excellence is required. Additionally, a keen interest in AI-assisted development tools and their application to improve productivity and code quality is desirable. Effective communication skills, mentorship experience, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines are vital. Industry experience in media, audio streaming, or consumer platforms is advantageous but not mandatory.
