*Team:* Tradecloud DevOps – product development and operations
*Language:* English (B2+ required)
*About Tradecloud*
Tradecloud builds a modern B2B supply chain platform that connects buyers and suppliers in real time. We're a *focused, fast-paced engineering team with a strong ownership culture* and a bias for shipping, without compromising quality. We care deeply about clean code, reliable systems, and continuously improving how we work.
That last part now includes AI. We use Cursor and Claude Codefor development and Rabbit AI for code reviews, not as gimmicks, but *as tools that genuinely change how fast and how well we can build*.
*The Role*
We're looking for a *Scala / Pekko / Akka Backend Engineer* who's excited about event-driven, distributed architectures and who gets energy from taking features all the way from design to production.
You'll work at the core of our platform, *designing and building backend services in Scala with Pekko*, contributing to architectural decisions, and owning what you ship. You'll collaborate closely with peers across our NL and UA teams and help keep our codebase maintainable, observable, and a joy to work on.
*What You'll Do*
* Design, build, and ship backend services in *Scala with Pekko*.
* Use *Cursor / Claude Code* to accelerate development: generation, refactoring, test writing, and *Rabbit AI* for automated code review.
* Champion *code quality*: documentation, testing, maintainability, and extensibility.
* Own *observability*: metrics, structured logging, and distributed tracing are part of your definition of done.
* Own services in *production*: runtime tuning, scaling, on-call duties, and incident follow-ups.
* Contribute to *architectural design* on domain modeling and message flows.
* *Reduce toil *proactively, if something is done twice manually, automate it.
* *Explore and experiment*: prototype ideas, evaluate new tools, share learnings.
*What You'll Bring*
* *Strong skills in Scala*, our primary backend language.
* Solid grasp of *concurrency, asynchronous programming, and distributed systems*.
* *Comfort using AI coding tools* as part of your daily workflow, or strong motivation to adopt them.
* Pragmatic approach to *automated testing and CI/CD.*
* A mindset of *shared responsibility *for platform and product quality.
*Nice to Have*
* Experience with *event-driven systems* and the *Pekko or Akka* framework.
* Familiarity with *Kafka, Opensearch, or Cassandra*.
* Exposure to *Google Cloud Platform* (GKE, BigQuery, Vertex AI).
* Observability know-how and an *SRE*-oriented mindset: reliability, toil reduction, and blameless post-mortems.
* *Containerization* (Kubernetes) and *infra-as-code*.
*How We Work*
* *Engineering at heart:* clean abstractions, clear ownership, measurable outcomes.
* *Automation-first:* if a task can be scripted, generated, or handled by an AI tool, we pursue that path.
* *Quality + speed:* we ship to production frequently, with guardrails: reviews, tests, and automation.
* *Collaboration:* respectful, direct communication across NL and UA; we solve problems together.
* *Learning culture:* we experiment, document, and iterate. New tools are welcome if they make us better.
*What We Offer*
* *Impact:* shape a core part of a real-time B2B supply chain platform used by real buyers and suppliers.
* *Modern tooling:* work with AI-assisted development as a first-class practice, not an afterthought.
* *Growth:* deepen your Scala/Pekko expertise and broaden into DevOps and SRE practices.
* *Autonomy:* trust to make decisions and own services end-to-end.
* *A supportive, international team* operating across EU time zones.
