Senior Distributed Systems Engineer (Java) at BairesDev

We’re looking for a Senior Distributed Systems Engineer who is deeply comfortable with Java and has spent meaningful time on the hard parts of distributed infrastructure — concurrency, fault tolerance, data consistency, and how things behave when they don’t go according to plan. You’ve worked on systems where data flows continuously and the scale is real. You’ll be contributing to a platform that thousands of organizations rely on to move and manage critical data, and where your distributed systems expertise will be put to genuine use.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement distributed system components in Java, with a focus on correctness, performance, and resilience.
• Work on data flow and stream processing infrastructure that handles high volumes of data across complex pipelines.
• Apply deep knowledge of concurrent programming to build systems that scale reliably under real production load.
• Diagnose and resolve distributed system issues including race conditions, bottlenecks, and failure modes.
• Collaborate with platform and infrastructure teams to ensure system components integrate cleanly and perform well.
• Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and the ongoing improvement of distributed system design.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in IT roles.
• 3+ years of experience with Java as a primary language in distributed systems contexts.
• Deep understanding of distributed systems principles, trade‑offs, and failure patterns.
• Strong concurrent programming skills, including multi-threading and asynchronous processing.
• Hands‑on experience with data flow or stream processing platforms.
• Open source contribution experience is a plus.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

• Supportive environment with mentorship, promotions, skill development, and diverse growth opportunities.
