What your impact will be like:
As senior Scala developer, you will be a core member of our backend guild and thus closely collaborate with the Exeon DEV team, jointly developing new features for our main NDR product. You will navigate general architecture decisions for new features and drive our continuous effort to improve upon our existing code base. You will work both hands-on on the implementation as well as define and refine architectural concepts for the whole team to allow for more easily maintainable and adaptable code in the future.
In particular, you will:
Guide the backend team on architectural questions, both for new features and old code to be refactored
Mentor backend team members on growth paths
Actively develop our backend code and have an impact on not only the GUI of our NDR tool, but also on our analytics backend.
Work closely together with the DEV team to develop new features, ensuring the continued success of Exeon.NDR.

What makes a good person-job-fit:
We are looking for a proactive, self-motivated and enthusiastic individual who’s comfortable in a high-paced scale-up environment and who shares our values. In addition, we are looking for certain requirements and skills to establish a good person-job-fit:
You have 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering

Interest and passion for cybersecurity and the culture of a fast-growing scale-up culture
Strong Scala coding skills , with a knack for architectural topics
You can write code that is readable, well-structured and performant.
Writing code together with tests comes natural to you. You know what degree of coverage with unit-tests and integration-tests will create quality code
You understand complex code and are able to break tasks down into easily digestible pieces, both for new features as well as refactoring tasks
Being neither an absolute perfectionist nor a minimalist, you know the perfect compromise between the two. You deliver outstanding code without rewriting everything from scratch, but covering all the necessary details
You have strong communication skills. You can grasp concepts explained to you easily and are able to convey your own thoughts effectively and efficiently.
You are fluent in English.
