• Write and maintain technical documentation.


• Other duties as assigned.

Required Skills and Experience: What you need

• 5+ years professional software engineering experience.


• Experience with the Java/Spring ecosystem.


• Expertise in RESTful web APIs, especially ones targeting external clients.


• Strong software design skills.


• Familiarity with relational database fundamentals (We mostly use PostgreSQL).


• Knowledge of modern security best practices, authentication/authorization frameworks, and system/API hardening.


• Knowledge of typical development best practices and tools for automated testing, continuous integration/deployment, and monitoring systems (i.e. Github Actions, DataDog, Sentry, Metaplane, etc).


• The ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively as befits the situation.

Preferred Skills and Experience: Nice-to-haves

• Experience with AWS or other cloud providers.


• Experience with microservice architectures and event-driven messaging systems.


• Experience with protocol buffers and gRPC communications.
