STRONG backend development experience. We need to decouple a set of shared services from our parent company. One of the main areas is account/eligibility functionality. Plus there are several other services this engineer might work on. - Our primary language of development on these services is Scala. So, in order to contribute to new development or maintain these services, following skills are required: Scala, sbt, Play, Akka - The above would also mean solid experience with RESTful APIs and microservices - Experience with CI/CD pipelines and relational databases - Some scripting experience - python or shell (bash) - Need software implementation and integration experience with a working knowledge of Agile development lifecycle. - Previous experience on account, eligibility, authentication (OIDC based) type systems will be helpful. This will be one of the biggest projects these contractor engineers will be working on.
