As a team member, you will also foster a collaborative environment, providing mentorship and technical guidance to distributed engineers to ensure the continuous enhancement and optimal performance of our software end-to-end
In this role, you'll:
- Leverage Kotlin microservices communicating with third-party integrations to build, design, and manage the rules engine that controls GFiber's product catalog.
- Use Kotlin and related technologies, including Spring Boot, Redis, and other related frameworks on Google Cloud Platform.
- Work on a team of distributed backend engineers, fostering a team culture of collaboration by providing space to ask questions, offer technical guidance, and share ideas.
- Collaborate with internal development and cross-functional teams, such as technical program managers, engineering managers, and other engineers, to successfully deliver projects within agreed-upon timelines.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to respond to outages and emergency issues.
At a minimum we'd like you to have:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience.
- 6 years of experience in software design and development using Java and/or Kotlin.
- 3 years of experience in building services related to product inventory and rule engines.
- Experience using development tools such as GitHub and Harness.io.
It's preferred if you have:
- Experience developing for Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Experience developing systems integrated with and/or hands-on experience using Salesforce (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Vlocity, Salesforce CPQ).
