We are seeking an experienced Senior Backend Developer with a minimum of 6+ years of expertise in developing backend systems using Kotlin. This role involves working on a battlefield management system, requiring strong security-focused development, robust architecture design, and seamless integration with cloud-based infrastructure.

The position demands advanced English skills and a high level of independence, enabling you to drive the development process from concept to delivery. Military experience or prior involvement in the development of military systems is a plus but not mandatory.

As a critical contributor, you will ensure the reliability, security, and performance of our systems, with particular emphasis on monitoring and mitigating vulnerabilities in system dependencies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Backend Development: Build and maintain scalable backend systems and APIs using Kotlin/Java and Spring Framework.

• Security Implementation: Ensure all systems meet stringent security standards, including data protection, authentication, and authorization protocols.

• Dependency Management: Regularly check for and scan for vulnerabilities in dependencies using tools like the OWASP Dependency-Check Maven Plugin, and mitigate identified risks promptly.

• Cloud Integration: Deploy and optimize backend services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• DevOps Practices:

  • Design and manage CI/CD pipelines.

  • Optimize repository workflows using Bitbucket.

• Collaboration: Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including frontend developers and system architects, to deliver robust solutions.

• System Optimization: Continuously refine and enhance system performance for battlefield-level reliability.

• Documentation: Produce clear and detailed documentation for architecture, code, and security processes.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Kotlin/Java & Spring Framework:

  • Advanced knowledge of Kotlin/Java (6+ years preferred).

  • Expertise in Spring Boot, Spring Security, and related modules.

• Security Expertise:

  • Strong understanding of OWASP, encryption, and secure coding practices.

• Dependency Management: Familiarity with tools like OWASP Dependency-Check Maven Plugin to scan and mitigate dependency vulnerabilities.

• Cloud Expertise:

  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform services like Kubernetes, Cloud Storage, and Compute Engine.

• DevOps & CI/CD:

  • Proficiency in managing pipelines with tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or similar.

  • Experience with Bitbucket for version control.

• Independent Work: Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and deliver high-quality results.

• Advanced English Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous experience developing systems or products with high security requirements.

• Certification in Google Cloud Platform technologies.

• Proficiency with containerization tools like Docker and orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes.

• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK Stack).

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.

• Opportunities for professional development and certification.

• The chance to work on impactful, high-stakes systems.

• Flexible working hours and [remote/hybrid] options.
