SCALA DEVELOPER

Scala Developer - An exciting opportunity working for an industry leading financial organisation based in Amsterdam.

SCALA DEVELOPER RESPONSIBILITIES

You will need to be capable and motivated to take responsibility for the delivery of features, from forming the requirements together with stakeholders, through testing and development (in Scala), until it is running in production. In addition, you're able to get less experienced engineers to a higher level.

At all moments we have to know whether the system is running as we expect it to and we have to be able to deal with any issue that can arise, whether it's a bug in the application, networking problems, or an issue with something much deeper in the stack. For this last part, it's important that you have affinity with operating Linux based systems.

Furthermore you develop the Middleware (through which different systems connect to each other) for example by adding a feature that facilitates canary releases and other routing mechanisms
