Senior Backend (Java/Kotlin) Engineer [EUROPE]

Description

At Kerno, we’re building the most effortless experience for millions of developers and on-call teams to cut through production noise, quickly identify business-critical application issues, and resolve them independently with minimal effort.

No manual instrumentation or sifting through endless dashboards, alerts, and logs.

Opportunity

Our team is small, which means your voice will carry tremendous weight in shaping our product and engineering roadmap.

But that's not all! Joining Kerno opens doors to mastering niche yet precious skills. You'll delve into the fascinating world of networking, systems design, and eBPF.

We aim to make a real difference in developers' lives by removing the stress of troubleshooting complex systems.

ABOUT THIS ROLE:

In this role, you will primarily build our backend platform, which is the backbone of our entire system design. You'll design and develop backend application components, ensure system stability, and optimize performance. Your work will be crucial in maintaining efficient, scalable backend operations.

TECHNOLOGIES:

• Kotlin (Java and Scala experience is accepted too)
• Kubernetes
• Postgres, Kafka, Redis, Timeseries
• Microservices and async systems
• Streaming (WebSocket, bi-directional communication)

You will love this role:

If you are passionate about engineering, how systems interact, and get a kick out of solving problems in a high-paced engineering-led environment with complete ownership of problems and solutions.

Traits we are looking for:

You are a deep thinker who loves to go far beyond the code and adventure into the solution and problem space. You are self-driven, committed, and have a sense of self-accountability, and you find passion in helping thousands of developers worldwide do their best work every day.

Don't be shy!

We place great value in education and experience, but we also recognise that talent is built on passion and hours dedicated to deliberate practice and learning... so don't shy away from applying if you feel you have what it takes.

PACKAGE

We are committed to ensuring that remunerations represent our best foot forward. Unfortunately, we can’t offer a multi-million salary package (yet), but we balance any shortcomings in salary with a generous equity package and employee benefits.

• Help shape a product suite to help other developers around the world do their best work
• Work with a driven, cohesive team of heavy-punchers
• 5-week vacation
• stock-options package
