Who we are: 

Equal Experts is an innovative consultancy specializing in the delivery of custom software solutions for blue-chip enterprises and public sector clients across a range of industry sectors. We work on important projects for our clients, deliver market-leading propositions across the digital, online, and mobile channels, and are recognized for our leadership in the application of agile and lean delivery methods to assure delivery. We have offices in Australia, India, South Africa, the UK, the EU and the USA. We’re seeking Functional Scala developers with proven senior-level experience to join the Equal Experts network in our North American Business Unit.
As a member of the team, you will work alongside our clients to help deliver products and solutions to meet business needs and help your teams deliver better. And, of course, all this happens in a consultative, collaborative fashion – in keeping with our values.

You should have extensive experience delivering software on commercial projects, backed up by extensive knowledge of agile practices such as TDD, FP, pair programming, and CI/CD to name a few. A growth-based, learning mindset is a must, coupled with a passion for technology.

This role involves working in teams that use modern agile technical practices - including continuous integration and deployment and fast feedback loops - to deliver timely and pragmatic solutions, as well as helping others to do their jobs in a more effective way.

Responsibilities

  • Working with the client and the team to determine system requirements and how best to deliver them.
  • Delivery of software using agile (pair programming, TDD, CI/CD, etc) practices.
  • Delivery of software using functional programming concepts (immutable data structures, pure functions/referentially transparent functions, dealing with side effects).
  • Cats Effects 
  • Zio Libraries 
  • Automation of system infrastructure and deployments.
  •  Production support of systems you are working on (You build it, you run it).
  • Advocating agile practices to the client organization.
  •  Mentoring client team members.
  • Helping improve the team and clients’ delivery capabilities.

Required Skills

  • Extensive, diversified experience developing, maintaining, and operating enterprise-scale distributed systems.
  • In-depth knowledge of Scala and its associated tooling. Experience with other languages is highly desirable.
  • Hands-on experience with test-driven development and other forms of automated testing.
  • Understanding of the fundamental principles of Functional Programming and experience applying them in your day-to-day development.
  • Strong understanding of the principles underlying agile development and an understanding of the various approaches that can be effective in realizing these principles in different contexts.
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively while working remotely with globally distributed teams.
  • Strong interpersonal skills including a desire to collaborate and knowledge share with other team members, including client team members. This also includes the ability to work collectively towards a common goal without insisting on a given course of action.

 

Nice To Have

  • Hands-on experience developing distributed systems, including microservice architectures and RESTful services.
  • Experience with Event Sourcing and CQRS.
  • Hands-on experience developing and running large-scale production systems, ideally in containerized/cloud environments using AWS

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Equal Experts’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
