Senior Java Developer

Got a head full of ideas? Good!

We are looking for a Back-End Developer to join the Sports Engine team.

The Sports Engine is the beating heart of the whole OddsMatrix system: all the betting odds transactions are flowing through the Sports Engine. It is composed of several distributed modules which support three main functions:  data collection, data processing, data publication.

Sports Engine has soft real time constraints: end to end time for each transaction must be less than 1 second.

Sports Engine has availability constraints: high availability is a must and we are striving for up-time measured in months. If the Sports Engine is down, all the other components of the OddsMatrix system become unusable.

Sports Engine is an evolving system: We must keep the pace with an ever-increasing number of betting odds. In the last couple of years, the number of odds doubled, and we are preparing for a similar increase in the future. Related, on peaks, we reach several thousand transactions per second.

On this job, you will:

• Think of and write technical specifications.
• Contribute to the design and the implementation of new modules.
• Add features to the existing modules.
• Tune the applications when they do not abide by the real time constraints.
• Add unit and functional tests wherever you feel they are needed.
• Run refactoring sessions when needed. (not everything is perfect).
• Work closely with your colleagues (many times in pair programming).
• Code review your colleagues work.
• Enhance your technical and team working skills.
• Automatize deployment processes.

We are searching for people:

• Passionate about developing software and in love with unit and functional testing.
• Committed to high level of quality.
• Pro-active and pragmatic.

Technical requirements:

• Five years or more professional experience as a Java SE software developer.
• Strong experience and knowledge of object oriented software design.
• Strong knowledge of data structures.
• Strong experience with multi-threaded environments.
• Experience with Junit/ TestNG.
• Experience with JDBC, SQL/MySQL.
• Experience with high scalable software and high performing components is a plus.
• Experience with Spring Boot is a plus.
• Experience with Apache Kafka is a plus.
• Performance Tuning & Optimization (profilers, garbage collection tuning) is a plus.
• Experience with Maven, Jenkins, Gitlab, Ansible is a plus.
• Foreign languages: fluent in English
