Backend Developer (Ods team)

Our success story is not something that happened by chance. A combination of global products, great, passionate people, and specific culture played a key role in our growth. NSoft's core business is creating products for the entertainment industry, and we have a lot of fun in the process, but the well-being of NSofters and the success of our partners is the number 1 goal for us.

There are countless reasons why employees choose NSoft, but career development and the opportunity to collaborate with senior experts stand out as the most important ones. With new business and partnership opportunities arising daily, our employees are proud to be part of the global network supported by Sportradar.

At NSoft, we embrace learning as a continuous journey. Mistakes are a natural part of the process—as long as you grow from them, they’re a step in the right direction. As a company, we’ve been through that learning curve ourselves.

We believe that the time and effort invested in people are invaluable. That’s why we tailor salaries to reflect your skills, knowledge, and contributions, ensuring you’re rewarded fairly for the value you bring.

Responsibilities:

• Implement domain definitions within the backend system. Collaborate in creation and give feedback to product requirements;
• Design, implement, and optimize backend services, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.
• Drive best practices in testing, observability, and CI/CD to maintain high-quality production systems.
• Learn. Either domain, technology which we are working with or technology which we want to explore;
• No system is perfect so suggest improvements in technical or domain implementation at any time - especially during team plannings.
  
  
  
  

Expectations:

• You’re passionate about technology and highly motivated to self improve. This comes before any experience expectation;
• 4+ years of experience in software development is desirable. However, having less experience is not a blocker if your self-taught expertise matches our expectations;
• Experience working with java programming language (Java 11+, ideally Java 21).
• Experience working with RDBMS. If you haven’t worked with any then we expect knowledge of concepts, pros and cons;
• Experience with building highly scalable (scale-out) front-facing backend adapters (HTTP, websockets, grpc) and stream processing systems which rely on Apache Kafka and/or RMQ/Redis streams. If you don’t have experience then we expect knowledge of concepts and tradeoffs of specific approaches.
  
  
  
  

Nice to have:

• Industry experience;
• Experience with Spring Boot or Quarkus framework;
• Experience with stream processing systems (Kafka Streams, Flink, etc.).
• Experience with software containers and container orchestration platforms. This is especially the case for Docker and Kubernetes;
• Writing comprehensive unit and integration tests as part of your development process.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices to streamline deployments.

Why do NSofters stay? 5 is more than just a number.

According to the global employee tenure data, the average number of years an employee spends in a tech company is 1.9, but our average is 4.8 years. We are aware that employees come and go, nothing is forever in business, but we are immensely proud of having over 100 employees who are here for more than 5 years.

What is our secret? Since day one, we have been focused on creating an ideal work environment, and it is not a destination, it’s a journey. We learn every day what is truly important for our employees, and at the moment, this is what work at NSoft looks like:

• You can start working anytime from 7:00 until 09:00, it’s up to you.
• We take care of your kids’ future through NSoft Junior Academy - specialized STEM educational workshops.
• You probably read a lot that we are not a family, but we support your family getting bigger through various perks. Besides 1-year-long maternity leave, every father gets 10-day additional paid leave. The equal number of days is for your wedding and HoneyMoon as well.
• Employee feedback is at the highest shelf for us, which is why we constantly collect data through 1-on-1 talks.
• Having dozens of products requires continuous education and growing daily, which is why we have developed custom-made Career, Leadership, Technical, and various Soft Skills workshops for NSofters.
• There's a 99.9% chance that at least one NSofter can help you out with anything. Staying connected is a breeze with a business phone number and enough data to stream your favorite series or catch every match in the Champions League.
