  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including front-end developers, designers, and product managers, to deliver high-quality features and enhancements.
  • Leverage cloud platforms like Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to deploy and manage scalable infrastructure for both backend and frontend components.
  • Write clean, maintainable code, adhere to coding standards and best practices, and participate in code reviews, automated testing, and continuous integration.
  • Communicate effectively with colleagues, managers, and internal stakeholders to align project goals, progress, and priorities.
  • Stay updated on emerging technologies and industry trends in both backend and frontend development to drive innovation and maintain market competitiveness.

      What we look for in you:

      • Practical experience is more relevant than a formal qualification.
      • Extensive experience in backend development with proficiency in Kotlin, Java, or other JVM-based languages, and frontend development with expertise in React, TypeScript, Node.js, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
      • 6+ years of experience working in production environments.
      • Strong understanding of REST APIs, WebSockets, and real-time communication systems, along with experience in integrating front-end and backend systems.
      • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like GCP or AWS, CI/CD concepts, version control systems (e.g., Git), and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
      • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to tackle complex technical challenges, with a commitment to writing clean, efficient code and implementing automated testing.
      • Effective communication and collaboration skills, with a passion for cryptocurrencies and alternative financial systems.
      • A natural inclination to help people and the ability to explain technical details simply, along with a commitment to continuous learning and self-improvement.
