Senior Backend Developer

About the Project

Pricing Integration Platform is a service facade that unifies the complex process of insurance policies calculations under one common API. This is the central system for calculations, which will be used by other customer applications that collect information for insurance policies.

Here we convert a large amount of data, develop the convenient API, orchestrate the distributed tasks, proceed with versioning of parameters and implement the calculators that need to perform on large amounts of data at lightning speed.

Currently, the stack of the project involves Java 17, Kotlin 1.8, Spring Boot 3, Spring Security, PostgreSQL, MyBatis, Spring Data, Flyway, Camunda 7, Kafka, RESTful API, Maven, MS Azure, Docker, Kubernetes on the Backend. And also, Angular 17, NGRx, NodeJS, Fastify on the Frontend.
