As a Senior Backend Developer you will...

Architect and build cloud-native, scalable backend solutions using Java (Spring Boot, Spring Security) that power TeliaPlay’s key features. Lead cloud deployments by designing, implementing, and optimizing infrastructure on AWS (EKS, EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS) while leveraging Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker to ensure a robust microservices architecture. Collaborate with cross-functional experts - DevOps, PM, and BA - to solve technical challenges, streamline CI/CD pipelines, and deliver seamless user experiences. Champion best practices by integrating security, performance optimization, and monitoring from day one, driving code reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring clean, testable code. Shape APIs by crafting RESTful APIs for both internal and customer-facing platforms and building scalable integrations without compromising quality or performance.

Who We’re Looking For

With over 5 years of professional backend development experience in Java (Java 17+), you bring a solid track record of using AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda to set up secure cloud environments. You possess hands-on expertise in Docker and container orchestration, particularly with Kubernetes, ideally Amazon EKS, and have experience using Helm to manage and deploy Kubernetes applications. Your familiarity with microservices architectures, event-driven systems, or both, complements your proficiency with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions and DevOps practices.

Additionally, you have LLM experience with various models, with a bonus if you bring insights into integrating AI into backend solutions. You demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, whether discussing architecture or debugging live issues. Bonus points for prior exposure to GraphQL, Terraform/CloudFormation, or advanced monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenSearch.
