We are working with a growing product-focused team delivering automation solutions across billing, provisioning, and service-related workflows (including enhancements, bug fixes, and client-driven changes). As the product continues to scale, they are expanding their engineering teams to support new development initiatives.

This is an opportunity to join a backend-focused team building and evolving a core platform in a cloud-based, distributed environment.

• Build and enhance systems supporting billing, provisioning, and service workflows
• Write efficient, optimised SQL queries and work with MySQL databases
• Integrate caching and performance improvements using Redis
• Deploy and manage services within AWS environments
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and follow best practices in version control (Git, PR workflows)
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams on new features and system improvements

Requirements:

• 4+ years of backend development experience
• Strong hands-on experience with Scala, including collections, futures, immutability, and pattern matching
• Solid understanding of SQL (query optimisation, indexing, profiling)
• Experience working with AWS services
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern development workflows (Git, pull requests)
• Experience building or working on distributed systems

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Squeryl and/or Doobie
• Familiarity with Grafana and Kibana (monitoring, dashboards, alerting)
• Experience with horizontal scaling in Play / Pekko environments

Additional Information:

• Senior-level role within a scaling product team
• Opportunity to influence architecture and technical direction
