• Triage, debug, and resolve defects across the stack, ensuring robust, maintainable solutions.

• Maintain secure coding practices and remediate application security findings in partnership with security and operations teams.

• Apply a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and performance optimization to build efficient and reliable services.

• Embrace and responsibly use AI tools in your daily work—for example, to accelerate coding, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation—aligning with PDO’s goal to deliver GenAI-enabled products and developer experiences.

What You Will Need to Succeed

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience.

• Strong programming skills in Java, with experience building production-grade services.

• Hands-on experience with Spring Boot and microservices architecture.

• Solid understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and performance optimization in distributed systems.

• Experience working with at least one major public cloud provider (AWS preferred).

• Understanding of distributed systems concepts and principles (consistency and availability,

• liveness and safety, durability, reliability, fault-tolerance, consensus algorithms)

• Ability to work in an agile fast-paced environment

• Demonstrated ability to embrace AI and apply it to your current role as well as data-driven insights to drive innovation, productivity and continuous improvement.
