Back End Developer

The Position

We are looking for a Backend Developer to join our experienced team of developers and help us design and implement backend services, data models and processes. We are searching for an analytical mind capable of crafting abstractions and solutions for problems imposed by business domain and coding those abstractions using our favourite programming languages.

Our focus is on OOP in Scala. While we may (ab)use some FP concepts and best practices from time to time, we are not an FP shop. Our development is Domain Driven Design methodology.

Responsibilities

We design and code. We contribute to a process involving several transformation steps, starting from an idea (or a business need), crystallizing it into a relevant domain model, coding it, and finally, spinning it up to run our business 24/7.

Roughly, our delivery cycle usually corresponds to the following 6 phases:

1. A Business Domain: It is a customer's business of interest.
2. Model of a customer domain: It is constrained and purified view of a business domain, in the form of diagrams, drawings, text descriptions, pictures, and specifications.
3. Model codified in a high-level programming language: High level abstractions with Domain Specification Language, which compiles into '"lower-level" programming language. This is where are developers learn and exhibit their software desgine and modelling skills.
4. Model codified in "lower-level" programming languages: This is a phase where are developers learn and display their coding skills throughScala, Java, and PostgreSQL.
5. Java Bytecode: We trust Java compilers so we usually don't interfere with it.
6. Machine Instructions: Produced at runtime by bytecode interpretation and JIT compilation.

During phases 3 and 4 backend developers play a crucial role. We need your analytical mind, engineering approach, technical skills, and expertise to make it happen!

Requirements

• At least seven years of experience working in backend development with Scala/Java or equivalent
• Good knowledge of OOP/FP paradigms and design patterns
• Hands on experience in working with transactional systems and concurrency
• You should be independent
• Fluency in English is essential

This will give you the edge:

• Experience with one of these databases: PostgreSQL, Oracle, MSSQL or DB2
• Familiarity with Domain-Driven Design approach
• Experience with debugging and performance tuning of applications and servers

Location & Time Zone: Europe, Remote

Please note that if you are based outside locations where Oradian owns a Legal Entity we will consider hiring via an EOR.

What you can expect:

• A skills-oriented organization with experienced experts in software architecture and development - you can learn a lot from them
• An abundance of development opportunities
• Interesting and challenging tasks, spanning multiple engineering concerns (features, security, performance, CI/CD, architecture, observability, concurrency, etc.)
• Strong product department. Luckily, developers don't specify features like at many other shops (but your opinion is seriously taken into regard)
• An international and learning environment full of passionate and talented people
• Great work does not exclude work-life balance
