Our team is developing a high-load, transaction processing platform handling over 605 million transactions daily, with rapid growth. The project is being built from scratch using the latest technology stack, with a focus on dynamically scalable microservices and clustered architecture. We are dedicated to TDD and Agile methodologies and are seeking a skilled Scala Developer with a passion for precision and best practices.

About our product:
The platform is built on an event-sourcing approach, featuring a dynamically scalable microservices architecture with a cluster-based deployment. Designed with a strong focus on high availability and partition tolerance to ensure resilience, real-time processing, and seamless scalability for complex transaction flows.

Tech stack:
Application Development: Scala, Akka(Clustering, Sharding, Persistence, Distributed Data), Play.
Data Streaming and Storage: Apache Kafka, Cassandra(multi-DC), Amazon S3.
Build and Continuous Integration: SBT, GitLab CI.
Container Orchestration: Kubernetes.
