Java Software Engineer

Robert Half

The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, multi-tasker, and demonstrated team-player. You will be a lead developer responsible for the development of new software products and enhancements to existing products. You should excel in working with large-scale applications and frameworks and have outstanding communication and leadership skills.

Position Intel:

Building and evolving Java-based backend services that power our chargeback and fraud-prevention platform. This role contributes to large-scale initiatives including technology modernization, decisioning workflows, alerting capabilities across the Chargebacks product suite. Beyond technical execution, this role requires the judgment and versatility to operate in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment — communicating complex technical tradeoffs clearly, adapting quickly as priorities shift, and partnering across teams to deliver results. This resource is expected to be highly proficient in leveraging Claude Code and other AI-assisted development tools to deliver quality software at high velocity.

Responsibilities:

-Design, build, and maintain Java-based backend services and REST APIs for the Chargebacks team.

- Enhance alerting capabilities and backend support for configurable notifications.

- Partner on technology enablers including database upgrades, integration, and scaling strategies, as well as containerized service deployment.

- Participate in release cycles, feature iteration, and continuous improvement initiatives.

- Provide technical leadership through code reviews and mentoring, and actively contribute technical perspective in requirements and planning discussions.

- Operate effectively across concurrent initiatives and shifting priorities without loss of quality or velocity.

Top Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience with Java and Spring Boot
  • Developing large scale applications
  • Fin tech or trading is a plus
