About the Hiring Company:
We’re looking for a Backend Developer to join the team building a real-money games platform. You’ll work on backend services that power games, handle wallets and callbacks, and keep our data clean and fast.

Job Description:

• Build and maintain backend services in Java using Spring Boot (REST controllers, services, repositories).

• Work with databases: design and query MySQL tables, write and review Flyway database migrations, care about indexes and performance.

• Integrate with external systems: implement and debug REST integrations with operators (wallets, callbacks, bonuses, etc.).

• Deal with jobs and scheduling: work on Quartz jobs for housekeeping, snapshots, and game-related background tasks.

• Improve reliability: track down issues using logs (for example, CloudWatch), metrics, and sensible instrumentation.

• Collaborate with senior engineers on code reviews, architecture discussions, and refactors.

The Successful Candidate:

• Solid Java fundamentals: OOP, collections, exceptions, debugging.

• Some experience with Spring / Spring Boot (university, personal, or work).

• Basic SQL skills (joins, indexes, simple performance reasoning).

• Comfortable working with HTTP/JSON APIs.

• Familiarity with git and collaborative workflows (branches, PRs).

• Curious and pragmatic: you like understanding why something is slow or broken and fixing it properly.

• Good written and spoken English; you’re not afraid to ask questions.

• Experience with JPA/Hibernate and Spring Data repositories.

• Exposure to Quartz or any job scheduler.

• Experience with AWS (RDS, Elastic Beanstalk, CloudWatch) or any cloud platform.

• Interest in high-throughput systems (games, trading, or similar) and performance tuning.

• Experience or knowledge of caching.
