Scala Programming

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