Job description

A fast-growing and innovative company is hiring a Senior Java Developer to work on a new product from the ground-up. Their developers are responsible for end-to-end projects including the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of its core in-house platform.

In this role, you will work on the backend of the platform, but any frontend skills are valuable as well. This is a great fit for a tenured Java developer who wants ownership over meaningful technical problems, enjoys building from the ground up rather than patching existing systems, and thrives in an engineering-first culture. This is a fulltime role and will be expected to be onsite 3x per week.
