• Identifying bottlenecks and improving the system to make it more robust, scalable and work fluently.
• Sharing knowledge with our other backend developers and together making sure our platform grows and moves in the right direction.

Our stack: Java 8/11, REST, Spring Boot, Maven/Gradle, AWS Services, Hibernate and Docker.

This is a cross functional, devops team so you will be the backend developer for the team working with frontend, app developers and QA engineers. With your team members you will work together closely, have a lot of contact and keep on improving.
