    • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues across services.

    Qualifications

    Must-Have:

    • Proven experience in backend development with both Java (Spring) and Python (Flask).
    • Strong understanding of RESTful API design and implementation.
    • Ability to write clean, maintainable, and efficient code in both languages.
    • Solid problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset.
    • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support data-informed task execution.
    • Familiarity with AI-enhanced platforms is a plus.
    • A solid understanding of AI capabilities and limitations including ethical considerations is expected.

    Nice-to-Have:

    • Experience or interest in Kotlin development.
    • Familiarity with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
    • Exposure to messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
    • Experience working in agile environments.
    • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and containerization tools like Docker or Kubernetes.
