Designing a vertical-specific user experience for the automotive category as part of company’s key strategic initiative, aimed at transforming the platform from a general-purpose marketplace into a collection of specialized “stores within a store.”

The role:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs using Kotlin, Java, and Spring Boot.

• Design the architecture of new modules and backend components and contribute to key technical decisions.

• Continuously optimize and improve existing systems, identifying opportunities to enhance performance, scalability, and code quality.

• Work with MongoDB, Spring Data MongoDB, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as part of the application ecosystem.

• Write and maintain high-quality, well-tested code while following established engineering best practices.

• Use AI-assisted and agentic coding tools as part of the daily software development workflow.

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Data Analysts, UX Designers, and other engineers to translate product and business needs into effective technical solutions.

• Occasionally contribute to areas beyond the backend, including web or mobile development, depending on project needs.
