YOUR TREASURE OF EXPERIENCE
  • 5+ years of backend development experience, with at least 2 years working in Clojure.
  • Good understanding of functional programming principles and best practices.
  • Expertise in working with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and non-relational databases (e.g., Redis)
  • Experience in building and maintaining event streaming services. 
  • Familarity with automated testing frameworks and performance monitoring tools.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  • Experience with the AWS ecosystem and Terraform is a plus.
  • Excellent ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and concisely and proficiency in English
