Beyond core development, you’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment, contribute to clean and modular codebases, and ensure quality through robust testing and CI/CD practices. If you’re passionate about search technologies, system performance, and delivering seamless user experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

Must-have:
  • 4–12 years of professional software development experience.
  • Deep experience with Elasticsearch—modeling data, optimizing indices, designing queries, tuning clusters, and ensuring performance.
  • Strong command of Java, demonstrating clean coding, modular architecture, and DRY principles.
  • Solid understanding of object-oriented design, concurrency, and efficient data structures.
  • Proficiency in automated testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Mockito), and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Skilled in collaborating in Agile settings—participating in stand-ups, retrospectives, and iterative delivery.
  • Excellent communication and ability to convey technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Nice-to-have / Preferred:
  • Hands-on experience with Spring, Spring Data Elasticsearch, or comparable frameworks.
  • Familiarity with search use cases: autocomplete, fuzzy matching, filtering, relevance tuning, pagination.
  • Knowledge of JVM internals, performance profiling, and memory management.
  • Exposure to search analytics and tools like Kibana or custom dashboards (focused on search metrics rather than logs).
  • Experience mentoring junior developers or leading small cross-functional projects.
