Java/Kotlin Software Engineer – AVP - (Developer Enablement)

What you will do:

• Write code and deliver. You are a delivery focussed engineer for our back end services.
• That means contributing high-quality code regularly, not just reviewing other people's. You set the bar through your own work.
• Shape how we build. You'll have a real voice in our architecture and technical roadmap. Your opinion matters
• Stay ahead of GenAI. This space moves fast. We need someone who follows it seriously, brings new ideas back to the team, and actively applies what they're learning to the products we build. If you've been experimenting with new models, new tooling, or new patterns, that's exactly the kind of thinking we want in the room.
• Be a team player. Thoughtful code reviews. Unblocking people when they're stuck. Sharing what you know. Your success here is tied to the team's success, not just your own output.
• Communicate like it matters. We're distributed across three continents. Clear, direct, proactive communication isn't a soft skill here. It's how the work gets done. You'll model it.
