  • Familiarity with data-intensive applications.
  • Solid grasp of engineering fundamentals and system design.
  • Proactive, collaborative, and eager to grow.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Databricks or Unity Catalog.
  • Interest in data-related technologies and how they shape businesses.
  • Knowledge of domain modeling in backend contexts.
  • Familiarity with OAuth2-based authorization flows.
  • Pragmatic mindset: balancing innovation with shipping, maintainability, security, and cost efficiency.

Why join this project?

  • Work on a high-impact retail project with modern technologies.
  • Join a team that values quality engineering and collaboration.
  • Get exposure to data-driven backend challenges.
