As a fullstack developer, you'll contribute to both the backend services and frontend applications, working on features that directly impact thousands of users across multiple enterprises. You'll be part of a team building a platform that modernises how global workforces connect and collaborate.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of commercial experience in backend software development using Java and Kotlin (the latter is optional, but you have to be ready to work with it)
• Experience as a fullstack developer with a focus on backend development
• Experience working with React, TypeScript, and Apollo Client on the frontend part
• Strong knowledge of the Spring Boot ecosystem and experience working with PostgreSQL and Hibernate/JPA
• Proficiency in GraphQL API development and integration
• Familiarity with the Gradle build system
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, with practical application in real-world environments
• Ability to create scalable, maintainable, and well-tested software solutions
• Experience with Agile methodologies, including TDD, pair programming, and short release cycles
• Strong aptitude for fast prototyping and the ability to adapt to rapidly changing requirements
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Great written and spoken English (Upper-intermediate level or higher)

Would be a plus:

• Experience working with or integrating GraphQL APIs
• Experience with deployment and configuration management tools like Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes
• Familiarity with Webpack and modern build tooling
• Familiarity with Styled Components for styling React applications
• A degree in Computer Science or a similar field

Responsibilities:

• Analyze, design, build, and test highly resilient and scalable services using Kotlin within the Spring Boot ecosystem
• Implement unit tests for complex logic and acceptance tests for any changes in REST/GraphQL APIs
• Contribute to the development of a rich user interface using React with TypeScript, ensuring seamless integration with backend services via Apollo Client for GraphQL
• Release software multiple times per week through highly integrated CI/CD pipelines
• Deploy applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and manage configurations with Terraform
• Create application telemetry to enable rapid production feedback loops and improve application performance
• Collaborate within an independent, fully empowered feature team (Product Design, Product Management, Engineering, and Systems Engineering). Work with product managers to determine requirements, write design docs, and ensure continuous feedback
• Implement automated unit testing, end-to-end testing, and functional testing to ensure software quality using tools like Jest and React Testing Library
