You will collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand business needs, solve complex technical challenges, and deliver impactful solutions. We value engineers who take ownership, embrace challenges, continuously improve their skills, and bring fresh ideas to the team.

  • Identify opportunities to improve application performance, code quality, system architecture, and development processes.
  • Explore and adopt emerging technologies, including cloud computing and AI-powered tools, to drive innovation and engineering efficiency.
  • Take ownership of features and projects throughout the software development lifecycle, demonstrating accountability, initiative, and a results-oriented mindset.
  • Contribute to product vision, technical strategy, and team success through collaboration, problem-solving, and knowledge sharing.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2+ years of professional software development experience, with strong programming skills in Java, .NET, or Python.
  • Solid understanding of object-oriented programming, software design patterns, and backend development, including RESTful APIs.
  • Experience with relational databases such as SQL Server or PostgreSQL, including SQL development and query optimization.
  • Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks such as Vue.js, React, or Angular.
  • Familiarity with software engineering best practices, including Git, automated testing, CI/CD, and application security.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to take ownership and manage multiple priorities.
  • Experience with AWS, Docker, and cloud-based application development and deployment.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools, LLMs, or AI agents.
  • Familiarity with Linux environments, Apache Tomcat, and production application troubleshooting.

Preferred:

  • Experience with Java frameworks such as Spring Boot, Spring MVC, or Spring Data JPA.
  • Familiarity with microservices architecture and distributed systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
