Experience
- At least 5 years of demonstrable experience in Backend development.
Education
- Preferred: Computer Science Engineer / Technical Computer Engineer (or similar).
- Higher Vocational Training (Dual or simple). Bootcamp profiles will be valued if they provide solid and demonstrable experience in the technical requirements.
Technologies
- Languages and Frameworks: Proficiency in Java Spring Boot or Python FastAPI. Other languages with similar frameworks are valued: Ruby on Rails or Sinatra or Rust Axum.
- Architecture: Real experience working with Layered Architecture and Event-Driven Architecture systems.
- Databases and Migrations: Solid experience with relational databases and schema versioning using migration tools (Flyway, Alembic, Liquibase, or similar) to ensure parity between environments.
- Testing & Quality: Demonstrable practice in TDD and API First. Experience creating robust integration tests (Testing Trophy).
- Local Infrastructure: Proficiency in Docker (image creation, Docker Compose, Testcontainers). Minikube is valued.
- Code and Task Management: Fluent use of GitFlow. Experience with task managers (Jira, Linear, etc.), strict traceability (commits and branches always associated with the ticket).
Activities
- RESTful API: Design and development of endpoints.
- TDD, Red-Green-Refactor: Writing integration and unit tests from the start.

- Advanced Event-Oriented Ecosystem: Practical experience working with high-performance messaging brokers, ideally Apache Kafka (or alternatives like RabbitMQ/AWS SQS). Ensuring idempotence in event processing. SAGAS.
- Resilience and Observability: Stability patterns in distributed systems, such as Circuit Breaker, Retry, and Fallback, to prevent cascading failures. Observability, instrumenting logs using TraceIDs and using monitoring stacks (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog).
- DevOps & Cloud: Knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), creation and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), and deployments in Kubernetes (K8s) clusters.
