Senior Scala/Java Developer - Esport betting

Náplň práce, pravomoci a zodpovědnosti

We are looking for a Scala developer to join our backend team of senior developers. Come to work with us on predicting the results of esports matches. We monetize it as an odds provider for bookmakers and as a market maker on betting platforms. You are getting an opportunity to become a part of a leading esports trading company and co-create a greenfield low-latency platform, build a cutting edge tech product from scratch, as well as directly interact with the esports business.
We welcome Scala as well as non-Scala or even non-JVM developers to apply for the position; structured thinking is more important than immediate knowledge of language or libraries or tools we use.
What can you expect? Most of our code is written in Scala and based on Akka libraries (Actors, Streams, HTTP). We have a set of microservices communicating over Kafka for publish-subscribe and HTTP for request-response which we deploy as Docker containers on AWS. We maintain JSON and XML APIs for our odds-feed clients and a GraphQL server for our several React/Typescript frontend applications.
