Ravn offers exposure to diverse technical challenges and opportunities for accelerated career growth.

Optimize: Hunt down bottlenecks in our distributed systems and ensure high availability.
Collaborate: Work closely with product and frontend teams to define technical requirements and deliver end-to-end features.
Mentor: Share your expertise in JVM internals and functional programming patterns with the wider engineering team.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Extra Credit (The Nice-to-Haves)
Angular: We give major "extra points" if you can navigate an Angular codebase. You don't need to be a CSS wizard, but if you can contribute to our internal dashboards or bridge the API-to-UI gap, we want to hear about it.
Cloud Infrastructure: Experience with AWS/GCP and Kubernetes.
Location:
This is a hybrid/remote position based out of Arequipa, Peru, and San Salvador, El Salvador. While office attendance is not mandatory, regular or occasional visits to the office is highly valued as part of fostering an environment rich in collaboration and exchanging ideas.
For team members in other Latin American locations, this role is fully remote. As Ravn continues to expand, we will seek to organize events to create opportunities for in-person engagement for team members.
