Remote | Full-time

We are looking for a skilled Back-End Developer with strong experience in Java or Kotlin to join a high-impact engineering team. You will play a critical role in designing, building, and maintaining scalable and reliable backend services that power key systems. This role requires strong backend fundamentals, hands-on microservices development experience, and a passion for delivering robust solutions in a collaborative environment.

Scope of Work
  • Design, develop, and maintain Spring Boot-based microservices with RESTful APIs and database integrations.
  • Implement automated testing frameworks to ensure reliability and maintainability.
  • Enhance observability and monitoring of microservices for performance and reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineers, product managers, and technical program managers to understand business needs and translate them into scalable backend solutions.
  • Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and advocate for software development best practices across the team.
Qualifications
  • Proficiency in Kotlin or Java with a strong understanding of backend development.
  • Proven experience designing scalable, performant, and observable backend systems.
  • Solid knowledge of Spring Boot, REST APIs, and working with both relational and non-relational databases.
  • Experience with automated testing tools and frameworks for backend systems.
  • Familiarity with AWS and Kubernetes for cloud-native application development and deployment.
  • Strong grasp of software development lifecycle (SDLC) best practices: version control, build processes, CI/CD, testing, and deployment.
  • Ability to work across ambiguous requirements and collaborate with diverse stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
Nice to Have
  • Experience working in agile and distributed teams.
  • Familiarity with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or technical blogs.

Join a team where engineering excellence, innovation, and collaboration come together to build impactful solutions used at scale. Apply now and be part of something big!
