Senior Backend Developer - Kotlin

Who we are:

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. We started in 2018 and have grown to about 28 people. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

What this job is:

We are adding a Senior Backend Developer - Kotlin to our operations team. The operations team owns services that process several million requests a day.

Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

What you'll do:

• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers.
• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans.
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current.
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't.
• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling.
• Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks.

About you:

• 5-7 years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production.
• Clear written communication, including design docs.
• Understanding of concurrency, transactions, idempotency and retries.

Preferred qualifications:
