Software Engineer 1 (Java/Kotlin) - Development Environment

Technologies we use

About the project

Your responsibilities

• Build useful things: Turn product and business needs into tested, maintainable software, working closely with the team.
• Learn how our systems fit together: Expand your Kotlin and JVM development skills, understand the interplay between deployment automation, cloud-native infrastructure, and traffic routing, and learn how platform tooling empowers developers across the organization.
• Help keep things reliable: Write tests, take part in code reviews, and learn how we monitor and support the systems we build. You won’t join on-duty shifts when you first start. We’ll introduce them after onboarding, once you and the team agree you’re ready.
• Work with modern tools: We use industry-standard AI coding assistants to support our development workflows.

Our requirements

• Has experience programming in Kotlin or Java and is motivated to develop their Kotlin skills in a production environment.
• Has a basic understanding of microservices and is interested in learning how to build reliable, scalable systems.
• Cares about code quality, welcomes constructive code reviews, and enjoys discussing sound engineering practices.
• Is open to continuously expanding their skills across different technologies and navigating complex, distributed platform solutions.
• Communicates clearly with teammates and stakeholders, and is ready to take ownership of well-scoped tasks - from clarifying the need and implementing a solution to helping monitor it after release, with support from the team.
• Has professional working proficiency in Polish and English (at least B2 level).

• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.
• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).
• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.
• A training budget, inter-team tourism, hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.
• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal.
