Job description

Our award-winning culture is built around five core values (known as our 5C’s): Curiosity, Collaboration, Creative Conflict, Commitment, and Competitiveness. With these guiding values, adMarketplace seeks to empower our team to reach their full potential through continued learning and the opportunity to do their best work.

The Role

We are looking for a Lead Full Stack Engineer with deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot and leadership experience to guide a team working on a high-performance web application. While this role focuses primarily on backend development and architecture, some React front-end experience is preferred. The ideal candidate will be responsible for leading an onshore software engineering team and coordinating with an offshore team that has its own team lead.

You will have a direct impact on the design, scalability, and reliability of our web application while ensuring best practices and high code quality. This is an opportunity to own architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and drive innovation in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and operation of a high-performance web application.
• Act as a technical leader, making architectural decisions and driving innovation.
• Develop and maintain scalable backend services using Java, Spring Boot.
• Collaborate with product managers, front-end developers, and data engineers to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to onshore engineers while coordinating with the offshore team lead.
• Ensure high standards for code quality, security, and performance.
• Continuously research and implement new technologies and best practices to improve our platform.
• Leverage AI-powered development tools to accelerate coding, debugging, and deployment processes.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of hands-on development experience with Java (Java 17+ preferred), including Spring Boot or another dependency injection framework.
• Proven experience in leading teams of engineers in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, designing relational databases, Microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, initiative, and ability to drive projects independently.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, with a commitment to collaboration and transparency.
• Some front-end development experience with React.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with containerization, CI/CD pipelines, AWS, Kafka, and Clickhouse.
• Knowledge with GraphQL.
• Experience with caching, performance tuning and JVM optimization.
• Contributions to open-source projects or active involvement in technical communities.
