- You will help us to continuously improve the resiliency, scalability, availability, and overall performance and security of our system, e.g. by pushing the performance boundaries of the platform for higher throughput and lower latency.

- You will use cloud native technologies to build, run, test and benchmark our system in modern cloud environments from a product engineers perspective
- You will closely collaborate and exchange knowledge with your teammates and other engineers in the organization
- You will support other Camundi, customers, external contributors and the community to use and operate our system
- You will provide 3rd level support for our system in close collaboration with our Site Reliability Engineers and be part of our on-call rotation
What You Bring:
- 5+ YoE working with a JVM based language (Java or others)
- Strong analytical problem-solving and root-causing skills
- High degree of curiosity and passion about what you do
- You thrive in taking ownership of the codebase, as well as how you deploy and operate software. You are comfortable with the “you build it, you run it” mindset.
- Ability and/or willingness to use our product
Nice to haves:
- Experience working with Kubernetes, Prometheus, Google Cloud
- Actual experience working on or with a Distributed System (e.g. Kafka, Elasticsearch etc.)
- Experience with Network programming
- Experience with concurrent programming and pitfalls (e.g. data races, locks, etc.)
- Experience with systems programming (memory management, file systems, I/O, etc.)
