Senior Back-End Software Engineer (Java)

Your challenge

• Build a truly self-service application for business users so they can work with data even without learning SQL or needing assistance from more technically-skilled colleagues. We are democratizing access to data and making it available to anyone within an organization who needs it.
• Find ways to automate most activities users must do to reduce the time needed to prepare data, allowing them to actually use the data for their work, and make data-driven decisions.
• Create a product that contains all the features enterprise solutions must-have, while making it super-easy to use. We want to refute the myth that enterprise software must be ugly and painful to use–it’s a lie!
• Take end-to-end ownership of the whole product and not just blindly focus on coding.

What you will do

• Understand data management and write solutions suitable for DM domains. This means designing scalable systems, ready to perform under huge amounts of data.
• Cooperate on software architecture. In Ataccama, anyone can propose and drive changes in our code’s architecture and design. You’ll need to work with microservices, messaging systems, and API designs covering different parts of the system.
• Solve complex problems in data management, with an emphasis on performance.
• Write clean, well-designed, documented, and testable code. We expect software engineers to understand and promote industry standards and best practices.
• Take responsibility for your work, from code to production. We promote ownership of our work and expect you to deliver software that’s ready to deploy and run in cloud environments.
• Take part in discussions and decisions that impact the way our product is designed and written.
• Be a team player, one who collaborates both within the team and outside it.

Is this you?

• You see challenges as opportunities. You’re ready to jump in and find what works.
• You’re not afraid of complex applications, and you don’t mind doing some research when engines require complex algorithms and data structures to work efficiently.
• You enjoy constantly learning new things and sharing your knowledge with others.
• You are not afraid to take ownership of a whole competency. 

Bonus knowledge

• You have experience (or interest) in any of the following areas: Software Architecture, Databases, Cloud Operations, and/or Application Security/Identity Management. We have several roles open in these fields, so we’ll match you with the right team based on your experience and preferences.
