About the team

At Careem, the mission for the NextGen Programme is to help grow our engineers by learning how to write Clean Code, use SOLID principle techniques, and design reliable systems. The ultimate goal is to train new engineers to build excellent foundations with high standards. Our Programme covers vast areas in engineering:  Backend, Frontend, Web, Mobile, Data Analysis, MLOps, Infrastructure, Cyber Security and QA.

We are looking for software engineers to join our team of talented engineers that share a common interest in distributed backend systems, their scalability, and continued development. You will work alongside a top talent for an accelerated learning path. You will have access to some of the most exciting projects and advanced tech for accelerated learning and exposure.

You will be responsible for maintaining some of our services that power the Careem. Engine, scaling highly distributed systems, and continuously documenting and improving our engineering practices. These large-scale, distributed systems handle everything from user requests to payment processing.

What you'll do:

Our tech stack is Java 8 and Spring Boot, Micro-Service Architecture, SQL and no-SQL DBs and AWS infrastructure. Key responsibilities include:

• Development of our distributed backend system to meet the challenging functional, scalability, and reliability requirements for our fast-growing business.
• Maintain features and systems, with an emphasis on code quality, maintainability, readability, and testing.
• Facilitate collaboration with other engineers, product owners, and designers to solve interesting and challenging problems across our platform.
• Be a valued member of an autonomous, cross-functional agile team.
• You care about quality and you know what it means to ship high-quality code.

What you'll need:

• 2-4 Years of Experience required.
• The ideal candidate will have a passionate commitment to improving the lives of people, an insane focus on excellence and customer service, and a strong alignment with our core values: being bold, focused, agile and collaborative.

Must have:

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or other related technical fields.
• Understanding of Object-oriented design, data structures, and algorithms.
• Ability to solve complex problems.
• Must be able to write clean and maintainable code (must love coding!).
• Ability to effectively articulate technical challenges and solutions; deal with loosely defined problems and fast-changing requirements & think abstractly.
• Passionate about learning new technologies and working on a product of massive scale and impact.
• Able to communicate effectively.
• Attention to detail.

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of AWS
• Knowledge of clean code principles
• Deep understanding of design patterns
• Demonstrated ability of test-driven development
