OPPORTUNITY
Due to our continued growth and the increasing demand from customers worldwide, we're looking for a Software Engineer to join our R&D team and help shape the next generation of products that transform how organisations use data.
You'll join the Research and Development department, working on our core Contextual Decision Intelligence offering: the Quantexa Platform. Our technology helps customers tackle complex challenges across fraud detection, financial crime, data management and more. We process, analyse and visualise vast amounts of data to uncover hidden relationships and detect anomalous or suspicious activity.
Our backend services are primarily written in Scala and deployed as microservices. We embrace functional programming principles and strongly-typed systems, building scalable, distributed solutions that handle large volumes of data. While Scala is our primary language, we welcome experienced software engineers from other JVM-based backgrounds, particularly Java, who are interested in learning Scala and working on large-scale distributed systems.
We leverage modern architectural patterns and technologies, including event-driven architectures, event sourcing and CQRS, enabling our platform to remain scalable, resilient and flexible as it grows.
As a Software Engineer, you'll work closely with experienced engineers across the business, contributing to the design, development and delivery of innovative solutions while continuing to develop your technical skills and expertise.
WHAT DO I NEED TO HAVE?
- A passion for designing, building and delivering high-quality software solutions.
- Strong commercial experience developing scalable backend applications using JVM languages such as Scala, Java or similar.
- Good understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including testing, maintainability and performance.
- Experience working as part of a collaborative engineering team.
- Experience contributing throughout the software development lifecycle, from implementation and testing through to deployment and support.
- An interest in learning Scala and functional programming concepts, or experience applying similar principles in other modern backend languages.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to learning and development.
