Job Description

Role Overview


We are seeking an experienced Scala Developer to join a dynamic team working on high-impact projects. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Scala and Play Framework, with a passion for building robust, scalable backend services and APIs. This is a fully remote contract role with an immediate start.


Key Responsibilities


  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Scala and Play Framework.
  • Implement RESTful endpoints, manage request/response lifecycle, and handle authentication/authorization flows.
  • Write clean, idiomatic Scala code and apply functional programming principles where appropriate.
  • Develop and maintain automated tests (unit and integration) and support test automation initiatives.
  • Collaborate with product owners, UX designers, QA, and other engineers in an Agile environment (Scrum/Kanban).
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and pair programming sessions.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production issues; contribute to reliability and observability (logging, metrics, alerts).
  • Assist in defining CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Concourse).
  • Produce concise technical documentation and handover notes.


Must-Have Skills & Experience


  • 3+ years professional experience with Scala.
  • 2+ years hands-on experience with Play Framework (controllers, routing, forms, HTTP filters).
  • Strong understanding of functional programming concepts and idiomatic Scala (immutability, monads; familiarity with Cats or Scalaz is a plus).
  • Experience designing and consuming REST APIs, including JSON validation/serialization (Play JSON, Circe).
  • Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and/or NoSQL (MongoDB), including schema design and query optimization.
  • Proven experience writing unit and integration tests (ScalaTest, Specs2, Mockito, etc.).
  • Familiarity with sbt and dependency management.
  • Experience with Git and branching strategies.
  • Good understanding of HTTP, web security best practices, and performance considerations.
  • Experience working in Agile teams and participating in ceremonies.
