- A builder's mindset with strong product thinking — you care about the "why" behind a feature, not just the elegance of the implementation.
- Extensive software development experience with Java, with the versatility and willingness to work across the full stack — frontend, tooling, infra — when the problem calls for it.
- Experience designing, building, and operating distributed backend services in production.
- Experience designing and operating REST APIs.
- Experience modeling and serving graph-structured or richly-relational data
- Experience integrating LLMs into backend systems — structured extraction, prompt-based enrichment, or evaluating LLM output for correctness — relevant to how we help harvest and enrich context.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-evolving problem spaces where architecture is still being defined.
- Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools in real production work, with the judgment to apply proper guardrails — testing, review, verification steps — so speed doesn't come at the cost of code quality or correctness.
- Demonstrated experience with software engineering best practices.
- Bonus: experience with data catalogs, semantic layers, or metadata/governance systems (e.g., dbt, Collibra) is a plus, not required.
- Ability to Travel: This role will require 25% in-person travel for purposes including but not limited to new hire onboarding, team and department offsites, customer engagements, and other company events. Actual travel expectations may vary by role and business needs.
Where could this role be based?
- This role is based in our Warsaw office and follows a hybrid model, with an expectation of being onsite 1-2 days per week.
