Job description

Online interview
Friendly offer

Looking for your next big opportunity? Join us in building state-of-the-art cloud-native applications using Scala, Akka and Bazel! We are #VLteam – tech enthusiasts constantly striving for growth. The team is our foundation, that’s why we care the most about the friendly atmosphere, a lot of self-development opportunities and good working conditions. Trust and autonomy are two essential qualities that drive our performance. We simply believe in the idea of ​​“measuring outcomes, not hours”.




📝Project scope

Currently, our partner (Global Freight Forwarder) acts upon the on-demand request from users to answer a very crucial question about the state of shipments. To improve user experience, we are building a new near-real-time events inspection platform that could proactively inform about requested milestones within the shipment journey.

The business domain is modelled using DDD, and the final solution is required to integrate with external systems and IoT data providers to distill state changes into well-named domain events. One of the system’s elements is the API that serves a trajectory with a CO2 footprint as a supplement to the entire shipping journey.


🛠Tech stack

Scala, Akka, Akka Sharding, MS Azure, Terraform, Kafka (Confluent Cloud), ElasticSearch, Kubernetes, DDD, End To End Encryption


🚵‍♂️Challenges

Multi-region replication, up to 10 mln incoming messages daily influencing various domains like Shipment, Trajectory, CO2, Inspection, and Customer Hierarchy.


🤝Team

Three teams consisting of 2 DevOps, 16 Scala/Akka Engineers, and a Project Manager. The teams are working closely with the Product Manager on our partner’s side.


What we expect in general


  • Knowledge and experience with Scala and its ecosystem
  • Experience in building microservice applications, preferably with Akka or Cats / ZIO
  • Good understanding of at least one public cloud (GCP / AWS / Azure)
  • Experience with working SQL (e.g. Postgres)
  • Excellent communication skills and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving
  • Ability to work as a part of a team and communicate well

 

📢Seems lots of expectations, huh? Don’t worry! You don’t have to meet all the requirements. What matters most is your passion and willingness to develop. Apply and find out!
