Scala Programming

• Primary skills:Technology->Functional Programming->Scala

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end development of Scala-based applications and services, ensuring performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Design and implement concurrent and distributed components using Akka, including actors, routing, supervision, and fault-tolerance patterns.
• Build and enhance web services and APIs using Play Framework, following clean architecture and modular design principles.
• Own build, dependency, and release management using SBT; optimize build pipelines and enforce consistent project structure.
• Drive code quality through reviews, refactoring, and establishing engineering standards, patterns, and reusable components.
• Collaborate with product and technical stakeholders to refine requirements, estimate work, and deliver predictable outcomes.
• Mentor team members, provide technical guidance, and support troubleshooting of complex production issues. Minimum Qualifications:
• 5–9 years of overall experience with strong hands-on expertise in Scala development.
• Proficiency in building scalable applications using Scala Programming as a primary language.
• Experience with Akka for concurrency/distributed processing and Play Framework for building services.
• Strong experience using SBT (Scala Build Tool) for builds, dependency management, and packaging.
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Engineering/Computer Science or related discipline (BTech/BE/BSc) or Master’s degree (MTech/MCA/MSc) is acceptable. Preferred Qualifications:
• Proven experience leading technical delivery, including task breakdown, estimation, and guiding teams through implementation decisions.
• Strong understanding of reactive and asynchronous programming concepts and applying them effectively in Akka-based systems.
• Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and service-layer patterns in Play Framework.
• Ability to improve developer productivity through SBT optimization, build standardization, and dependency/version governance.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers, influence best practices, and drive continuous improvement across the codebase. Good to have skills: Microservices architecture, REST API design, Distributed systems, CI/CD pipelines, Docker
