Role Overview:
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) who prioritizes system reliability and product impact. This key contributor will develop a scalable Hexagonal Backend API service that acts as the main interface within our commercial ecosystem. Candidates should demonstrate ownership, pragmatism, and a comfort with navigating ambiguity.
Key Responsibilities:
- Core Engineering & Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize scalable Kotlin Spring Boot backend services using a Hexagonal architecture for high-performance fleet orchestration.
- Data & Integration Strategy: Manage complex data layers (Postgres/PostGIS, TimescaleDB) and create a Unified Abstraction Layer to integrate diverse autonomous vehicle APIs.
- Real-time Systems & Optimization: Drive the technical roadmap for real-time data engineering, resolving bottlenecks in high-frequency data ingestion (MQTT/WebSockets) to ensure sub-second latency.
- Security, Scalability & Observability: Implement standards for platform security, Multi-tenant Architecture (RLS), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Engineering Leadership, and DevSecOps to create high-quality solutions for measurable business outcomes.
- Engineering Culture: Mentor engineers, conduct code reviews, introduce process improvements, and foster operational excellence.
Qualifications:
- Experience & Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field; 5+ years experience with Java or Kotlin and Spring Boot in a SaaS startup environment.
- Architecture & Data Mastery: Proficient in distributed systems, Hexagonal Architecture, and scalable API design; expertise in SQL (PostgreSQL), GIS/PostGIS, and time-series data (TimescaleDB).
- Real-Time & Integrations: Experience in low-latency communication (WebSockets, MQTT) and building abstraction layers for third-party APIs.
- Mindset & Execution: Ability to balance architectural integrity with commercial goals and ownership of the code lifecycle.
- Security & Quality: Strong focus on software quality and security with hands-on experience in automated testing and observability tooling.
- Complementary Expertise: Frontend experience with React or Next.js and TypeScript; expertise in cloud environments (AWS, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Helm).
- Industry Experience: Background in logistics, robotics, or fleet management systems is preferred.
- Communication: Fluency in Business English is required.
