You’ll take technical ownership of a web platform built from scratch. This is a hands-on lead role — real coding, real decisions, real impact. You’ll shape architecture, guide engineers, and work closely with product and business. No silos, no by-the-book nonsense.

• Lead development of user-facing features using React, Angular or Vue
• Build and maintain backend services in Java (APIs, microservices, business logic)
• Own technical decisions and guide the team as a Tech Lead
• Design data models, APIs, and overall system structure
• Work closely with product managers and business users in SCRUM
• Keep code clean and readable — CI/CD, tests, reviews are standard
• Build cloud setups (preferably GCP) using Docker, Kubernetes, IaC
• Support and mentor engineers — technically, not micromanaging
• Work with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra)

Skills:

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in full stack development
• Strong command of frontend frameworks (React, Angular or Vue) and component-driven architecture
• Experience in backend development, including RESTful APIs, microservices, and domain-driven design
• Ability to build platforms from scratch and deliver end-to-end functionality
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Excellent communication - able to explain complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience with relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra) databases
• Proficiency with Git and version control systems
• In-depth knowledge of software architecture best practices and a value-driven, results-oriented mindset

Nice to have:

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• Familiarity with data science tools (Pandas, NumPy, Jupyter Notebooks)
• Understanding of DevOps practices
• Knowledge of Generative AI frameworks and techniques

What's in it for you?

• Stable, long-term projects
• Tax-deductible cost (80%) and annual bonus
• Private healthcare, multisport card, life insurance
• Financial support with trainings and education, social fund, nursery discounts
