Scala Developer

Employment Type: Contract

About the Role

We're looking for a Scala Engineer to join a high-scale platform team building and evolving the core services and data layer behind a huge consumer-facing financial services company used by millions of customers. This is a hands-on build role on a system where scale, quality, and iteration speed all matter at the same time. The stack is Scala-first, and you'd be writing Scala day one.

What You'll Do

• Build and scale core Scala services and the data aggregation layer
• Design integrations across internal services sitting on top of a rich data set
• Partner with external data providers to extend product capability
• Drive automation across build, deploy, test, monitoring, and data pipelines
• Work end-to-end with front-end teams as the product iterates and evolves

What We're Looking For

• 5 years of backend engineering experience, with hands-on Scala in production
• Deep comfort in Scala or a functional language with proven Scala experience
• Experience with microservices architecture, messaging patterns (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS or similar), and modern deployment models
• Clean API design - robust, extendable client/server contracts
• Hands-on with Kubernetes and container technologies
• Strong SQL, relational schema design, and ORM fluency
• Solid foundations in OOP, design patterns, algorithms, Linux, networking, and web application internals at scale
• Track record of mentoring engineers and leading through influence
• Experience in Agile/Scrum environments

Requirements

• Must be based in the US - no sponsorship available
• W2 only
• Able to work hybrid, 3 days per week onsite in Charlotte, NC

Compensation

Highly competitive contract rate, commensurate with experience.

**Please note: This role is open to US Citizens and Green Card holders only. No visa sponsorship, C2C arrangements, or third-party agency submissions will be considered.**
