• Contribute to design and code reviews, offering suggestions for improvement.
• Proactively share knowledge and learn from others to grow technical and soft skills.

Clojure Experience (Nice-to-Have)

• Contribute to or maintain Clojure-based services if applicable.
• Learn functional programming patterns and collaborate in mixed-language environments.

Documentation and Continuous Learning

• Maintain clear documentation of code, architecture, and deployment processes.
• Keep up to date with emerging technologies to enhance product quality and team productivity.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of professional experience in software development.
• Proficiency in Java and hands-on experience with Spring Boot or similar frameworks.
• Understanding of Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles.
• Familiarity with building event-driven systems using messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Knowledge of microservices architecture and best practices.
