About the Role
Our engineering domains at DCS build and operate the platform that powers EV charging for some of the world's largest automotive and mobility brands. As a Software Engineer, you will be central to how the team turns defined problems into reliable, production-grade software, and you will be one of the people the platform runs on day to day.
Responsibilities
- Owning features and components end to end within a team.
- Delivering features and components to production reliably, with appropriate unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
- Managing your own delivery: estimating work, sequencing it, raising delivery risks early, and resolving cross-team technical dependencies.
- Owning system design at team scope: producing designs during refinement using the C4 model, keeping them current, and aligning them with a domain target architecture.
- Keeping your own work healthy against engineering delivery metrics (e.g. DORA metrics, stability, SSDLC compliance, velocity and predictability).
- Effective use of AI coding tools in your daily workflow.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Solid foundation in the JVM (Java and Kotlin).
- Production experience with event-driven systems.
- Working command of distributed systems fundamentals: idempotency, at-least-once vs exactly-once tradeoffs, schema evolution, partitioning.
- Comfortable applying common patterns (event-driven, API gateways) and a developing sense of when not to.
- Sound database judgment with relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational stores, including data modelling and query performance.
- Familiarity with cloud service providers, ideally Azure.
- Comfortable with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
