Job description

A fast-growing company is hiring a Senior Java Developer to help build and evolve the proprietary systems that power their business. This company designs, architects, and develops its core platform in-house, meaning engineers work on systems that directly drive the business, not just integrations or maintenance layers. This is an opportunity to join a lean, technically driven team where your code has real, visible impact on the company's operations and growth.

In this role, you will work on backend systems supporting critical business functions in a highly regulated, data-sensitive industry, collaborating closely with a small team of engineers and stakeholders to design scalable, secure, and reliable solutions. 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 is comfortable operating in a company where engineering decisions carry weight.

• Senior-level experience with Java/Spring Boot
• Strong experience in Microservices
• Experience with Kubernetes
• Experience deploying applications in AWS
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
