About the Role:
We are looking for a passionate and adaptable Junior Developer to join one of our growing development teams - specializing in Nifi, Java (Spring Boot, Docker), or Spark/Scala. This is an exciting opportunity to kickstart your career and work on modern technologies while learning from seasoned professionals.

Whether you bring experience in Java, Python, or Scala, we believe strong programming fundamentals can translate across teams. You will be mentored by experienced leads, and depending on your fit and growth, you'll become a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in a specific area.

Key Tasks:
* Join daily status calls with offshore teams (starting at 8:00 AM)
* Work on development tasks in agile, spring, or waterfall project models
* Assist with production support and operational activities as needed
* Investigate and resolve production issues, becoming the go-to person for a domain
* Collaborate closely with team leads to identify and prioritize tasks
* Learn and grow into technologies like Nifi, Spark/Scala, Spring Boot, AWS, and more
* Enjoy the structure and guidance of a support team - no on-call responsibilities expected

REQUIREMENTS:
* 0-3 years of hands-on programming experience in Java, Python, or Scala
* A self-starter attitude with flexibility to pivot as priorities shift
* A strong desire to learn and grow into new technologies
* Effective communicator and team player

Nice to Have (or Learn Here!):
* Exposure to Spring Boot, Docker, or Nifi
* Interest in data engineering or big data processing tools like Spark
* Familiarity with cloud technologies, especially AWS
