Job description
Responsibilities:
Collaborate with the backend development team to design, write, maintain, and refactor Java code following best practices, project requirements, and coding standards.
Participate actively in architectural and design discussions, providing well-structured, scalable, and maintainable technical solutions.
Perform comprehensive unit testing, troubleshoot complex issues, and ensure backend services meet functional and performance specifications.
Work independently in breaking down project requirements into smaller, executable tasks while also providing support and guidance to junior developers when needed.
Coordinate closely with cross-functional teams—onsite or remote—to resolve technical challenges, review code, and ensure smooth integration of backend components.
Learn and utilize specialized tools, frameworks, APIs, or internal systems efficiently, applying them to backend development responsibilities on an ongoing basis.
Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation, including inline code comments, API specifications, and brief technical notes for future reference.
Stay proactive in improving system performance, identifying knowledge gaps, seeking clarity when needed, and incorporating feedback to enhance code reliability and efficiency.
Job Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in an IT-related field is preferred; however, undergraduate applicants with relevant backend Java development experience will also be considered.
2–4 years of hands‑on experience in backend development using Java, with a solid understanding of Object‑Oriented Programming and backend design principles.
Strong analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills with the ability to design logical and efficient backend solutions.
Familiarity with backend frameworks such as Spring / Spring Boot, RESTful API development, microservices, and integration patterns.
Basic understanding of web architecture; exposure to front‑end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, React, etc.) is a plus but not required.
Experience with relational databases and SQL (e.g., Oracle, MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) is preferred.
Ability to quickly learn new tools, frameworks, and technologies as needed for ongoing projects.
Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non‑technical team members.
Willing to work onsite in BGC, Taguig City, and render overtime when required.
