Java Software Engineer
- Netanya, Israel
Outbrain’s backend guild is looking for a top-notch Java developer who will shape the technology of the world’s top content recommendation network.
Our principles
- Each team is highly autonomous and owns its own services. You develop, you deploy, you wake up at night when your code breaks.
- Production code that we decided is going to stay with us, must be safeguarded by unit and integration tests, pass static analysis, go through a gradual deployment process and be automatically monitored for business KPIs. Quality is king.
- Peer review through pull requests is our bread and butter.
- Use the right tool for the job. Don’t blindly follow the latest fad, but always be on the lookout for what’s out there.
Our scale
- We require thousands of servers across multiple data centers to serve our traffic.
- > 10k Kubernetes pods.
- Many dozens of services and data stores are accessed for each served request. We have a Netflix style micro services architecture where all pieces must fit together to deliver on performance and correctness.
