Backend Developer (Mid/Senior)

My name is Mindaugas Jaras a Head of Tech for Sales and Onboarding.

What you’ll do:

As a Senior Backend Developer, you will champion best practices by integrating security, performance optimization, and monitoring from day one, driving code reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and ensuring clean, testable code.

• Architect and build cloud-native, scalable backend solutions using Java (Java 17+, 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 and innovate with cross-functional experts - DevOps, PM, and BA - to solve technical challenges, streamline CI/CD pipelines, and deliver seamless user experiences.
• Shape APIs by crafting RESTful APIs for both internal and customer-facing platforms and building scalable integrations without compromising quality or performance.

What will help you thrive in this role:

• Proven experience of backend development in Java, with solid track record of using AWS services such as EC2, S3, RDS, and Lambda to set up secure cloud environments. 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.
• Knowledge and familiarity with microservices architectures, event-driven systems, or both, proficient with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions and DevOps practices. LLM experience with different models, bonus if you bring insights into integrating AI into backend solutions. Prior exposure to GraphQL, Terraform/CloudFormation, or advanced monitoring (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenSearch) would be a plus.
• Ability to demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, whether discussing architecture or debugging live issues.
• Fluency in English.
