the opportunity to help define the standards for how we model data and build scalable services in a modern cloud environment. For teams managing core infrastructure or critical systems, rotating on-call duty is a natural part of taking full operational ownership. ## Your technical environment We are moving from an architecture built around Gigaspaces and internal platforms towards a modern, cloud-based technology stack. You will work with: - Java as the primary language for our microservices. - GCP as our future home, where we build for high availability and scalability. - Modern cloud data modeling, using Google Spanner for application data and BigQuery for data warehousing. - Communication via gRPC and event-driven flows using Kafka. - AI-assisted development, leveraging modern tools to explore and set standards for future engineering workflows. ## Who are you?

As an engineer, you enjoy sharing your knowledge and are motivated by the challenge of migrating complex systems to the cloud. As a person, we see you as a curious and communicative team player who thrives on solving complex problems together with others.
