Responsibilities:
• Design and implement features end-to-end — from specification through testing, review, and deployment.

• Strong grasp of the Scala type system, including implicits/givens, type inference, and leveraging the compiler for correctness guarantees.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems: consensus mechanisms, fault tolerance, eventual consistency, and partition handling.
• Participate in architecture discussions and technical decision-making, bringing well-reasoned opinions grounded in distributed systems experience.
• Comfortable working with gRPC, Protobuf, and service-oriented architectures.
Nice to Have:
• Experience with Canton and/or Daml.
Soft skills:
• Strong communication skills for interacting with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A high degree of autonomy, accountability, and ownership for delivering outcomes.
• Ability to provide constructive feedback during technical discussions.
We guarantee:
• International experience in a stable company: the company has offices in Antwerp, Leuven, Lisbon, Krakow, Kyiv, New York and operates on the market for over 15 years1 .
• Passionate team in an innovative casual, positive, and open work environment ready to meet your new ideas.
