Scala Programming

Scala Programming

• Primary skills:Technology->Functional Programming->Scala Preferred Qualifications: • Experience designing and building distributed systems and microservice-style architectures using Scala-based ecosystems. • Strong exposure to API design patterns, authentication/authorization concepts, and integration best practices. • Familiarity with reactive programming principles and building fault-tolerant, event-driven services. • Experience improving build and release workflows (dependency management, versioning, packaging) and supporting CI/CD practices. • Demonstrated ability to mentor peers, communicate technical trade-offs clearly, and drive improvements in code quality and performance. Good to have skills: Microservices, REST API Design, Reactive Programming, CI/CD, Docker Key Responsibilities: • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and components using Scala aligned to business and technical requirements. • Build concurrent and resilient systems leveraging Akka (actors, routing, fault tolerance) and apply best practices for scalability and performance. • Develop and enhance APIs and web services using the Play Framework, ensuring secure and reliable integrations. • Manage builds, dependencies, and packaging using SBT; maintain consistent project structure and build hygiene. • Write clean, testable code; create unit and integration tests and participate in peer code reviews to uphold quality standards. • Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventive fixes with proper documentation. • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to estimate work, plan deliverables, and support timely releases. • Contribute to continuous improvement by refining coding standards, improving performance, and supporting automation in delivery pipelines. Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor’s/Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Engineering/Computer Science/IT (e.g., BTech, BE, MCA, MSc, MTech). • 3–5 years of hands-on experience in backend development with strong proficiency in Scala. • Practical experience with Akka, Play Framework, and SBT in real-world projects. • Solid understanding of object-oriented and functional programming concepts, concurrency, and performance considerations. • Experience with debugging, code reviews, and writing automated tests to ensure maintainable, reliable software.
