Our core stack is Kotlin / Spring / PostgreSQL, and we run on Kubernetes in a service oriented architecture with over 100 services in production.

You should have 2+ years Java or Kotlin programming experience

You should have worked on a SOA or microservice-based application.

Willingness to roll up your sleeves, collaborate with others and get stuff done
Strong sense of responsibility; driving a project from inception to completion
Affinity for solving problems and shipping impactful features, not polishing perfect code or architecture
Experience working in a collaborative coding environment, refining designs together, working through code reviews and managing pull requests

Nice to have:

Interest in personal finance
Experience managing your own investments or experience taking out loans
Experience scaling highly available, mission critical systems
Full-stack experience, either toward systems (kafka, docker, posix), databases (postgres), or front-end (javascript/typescript, react)
