Responsibilities

  • Building cloud native services using Scala using open-source frameworks Akka, ZIO etc.
  • Unit and integration test development using Scala Test and ZIO Test
  • Active participation in stand-up meetings
  • Active participation in Peer Code Reviews as part of our standard SDLC and Change Management Process

Qualifications

  • Degree in Software Engineering
  • 5+ years of web-based application development
  • Experience in Scala, Node.js or Java a plus
  • Demonstrated understanding of relational or NoSQL database concepts and modeling practices
  • Passion for actively learning new technologies

Employees also receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes an employer matched retirement plan, generously subsidized healthcare with 100% employer paid dental, vision, telemedicine, and virtual mental health counseling, parental leave, and unlimited paid time off (PTO).

We believe the best ideas and innovation happen when we are together. Employees in this role will work in the office Monday-Thursday, with the flexibility to work remotely on Friday.
