Job description

Online interview
ClearScale (headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA) - AWS Premier Consulting Partner has been offering a full range of professional cloud computing services for over 10 years, including architecture design, DevOps automation, refactoring and cloud-native applications development, integration, migration, solving all sorts of security issues (from just a security check to preventing cyber-attacks) and 24/7 technical support using the best advanced technologies.

The list of our customers is diverse: from government companies (ClearScale is an official cloud partner of the State of California) and educational institutions (University of California, San Francisco) to well-known global brands (IBM, Samsung, GoPro, HP, Conde Nast, Carl Zeiss, etc.) The number of satisfied customers has been well over 850, some of which can be found on the company's website in the Case Studies section.

Since the very foundation of the company, we work 100% remotely from various cities and countries.

The professional reputation of our employees is of the highest value.

  • Own and operate multiple instances of mission-critical services


ClearScale
expects a successful candidate to have the following qualifications and skills:

  • Strong technical experience (6+ years) in software development, focusing on the use of Java (would be an advantage to have experience in a full-stack development)
  • We run on AWS, so you should have the ability to build, test, and deploy code to run on cloud infrastructure (AWS Lambda, EC2, S3, Kinesis, etc)
  • Knowledge and deep experience in architecting and building complex systems with high performance, scalability, and reliability requirements
  • Seasoned knowledge of Java Frameworks (Spring/ Spring Boot), Java Core
  • Experience with ORM technologies such as JDBC Template or Hibernate, caching solutions such as Redis
  • Deep architectural understanding of web applications
  • Strong knowledge of data integration, integration patterns, strong REST API, and microservices understanding
  • Understanding of DevOps and Continuous Delivery Tools such as Jenkins/CodePipeline
  • Strong self-management and self-organizational skills
  • Technical architecture and leadership skills with the ability to drive complete feature life cycle
  • Fluent English

Additionally, it would be nice if you have:

  • Experience creating automated unit tests in Java/Kotlin
  • Knowledge of Web technologies, such as AJAX, HTTP, HTML/XML, REST, JavaScript, CSS, XSL/XSLT, etc.
