Summary

Work Market is in the process of moving from a Monolithic Application to Microservices. You’d be working heavily in Java building an entirely new platform using a microservices-based architecture. You will be working on a high-performance high-availability stack using cutting-edge technology. Your opinion on architecture design decisions is welcome and expected. You will interface with many different tech and product teams in order to deliver these services.

* Writing core business code that is clean, clear, concise, simple, intent-revealing, and testable Refactoring, re-architecting and optimizing workflows for maximum performance

**What are the challenges?**

* **Overcoming scale challenges:** How do we maintain speed, availability, and reliability as our client base grows and the number of objects and relationships within our system increases exponentially?
* **Build a new microservice-based platform** , which enables our engineering teams to continue to grow and develop products quickly and with minimal bottlenecks.
* **Build our own API framework** for our internal Engineers that is light, powerful, and specifically optimized for our tasks, while removing potentially asynchronous tasks from the critical path to keep response times low.
