Software Developer (Backend)

Katara Gaming is seeking a Backend Software Developer to focus on building and designing backend services and APIs using Spring and Kotlin.

Candidates should have a strong understanding of RESTful API design and be able to articulate architectural decisions during code reviews and design discussions. The position requires at least five years of professional experience in backend system development, with a preference for candidates who have production ownership rather than just task completion.
