This role is ideal for engineers who:

  • Thrive in high impact, fast response environments
  • Enjoy solving complex production issues
  • Can balance development plus operational support
  • Are comfortable working independently during overnight hours

What You Will Do

  • Design, build, and enhance enterprise Java applications and APIs
  • Troubleshoot and resolve critical production issues in real time
  • Develop and execute unit tests and automated test cases
  • Support and improve system performance, reliability, and scalability
  • Work across teams to deliver high availability systems at scale
  • Contribute to architecture decisions and system design
  • Maintain and improve CI CD pipelines, code quality, and deployment processes
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team best practices

What You Bring (Required)

  • 5 or more years of software engineering experience
  • Strong Java development experience (Java JEE, Spring ecosystem)
  • Experience building and supporting REST APIs or web services
  • Production support experience (this is critical)
  • Experience with:
    • Spring Boot, MVC, Integration
    • Hibernate or similar ORM frameworks
    • SQL and database design
    • CI CD tools (Jenkins, Maven, etc.)

What Sets You Apart

  • You write clean, efficient, production ready code
  • You stay calm under pressure and can resolve critical issues quickly
  • You are comfortable owning systems end to end
  • You proactively identify improvements and drive them forward

Reality of the Role (No Surprises)

This is not a typical 9 to 5 development role.
You will be:

  • Working overnight shifts
  • Supporting live production systems
  • Handling high priority issues in real time

In return, you will have:

  • High ownership and visibility
  • Opportunity to work on large scale, mission critical systems
  • A team that values strong, reliable engineers
  • An opportunity to convert to a full-time employee of the client, based on eligibility and performance.
