Job description

What You'll Do

• Lead architecture decisions for our Internal Operational Platform and connected tooling, and define the engineering standards and code quality practices the team follows
• Build and maintain full-stack applications (Java/Spring Boot + React/TypeScript), turning vibe-coded MVPs and prototypes into clean, production-ready services with typed APIs, proper auth, persistence, and observability
• Design PostgreSQL schemas and Liquibase migrations, and integrate BigQuery reads and publish layers
• Champion OpenAPI-first development and typed frontend API clients
• Own backend observability (Actuator, Prometheus, structured logs)
• Partner with business stakeholders to preserve product intent while raising technical quality

Must-have

• Backend: Java 21, Spring Boot 3.x, REST/OpenAPI contract-first development, PostgreSQL + Liquibase, Spring Security, and observability tooling (Actuator, Prometheus). Bonus if you've defined backend architecture standards, worked in multi-module Maven projects, or integrated legacy systems without rewriting them.
• Frontend: React + TypeScript, API-driven UI, server-state management (e.g. TanStack Query), and a good instinct for loading/error/empty states and practical workflow UIs.
• Data & Integration: Experience with BigQuery or a similar warehouse, and comfort reasoning about versioned data, source-of-truth boundaries, freshness, and cache/fallback behavior. Nice to have: Google APIs (Sheets, Drive, BigQuery), workflow automation tools like n8n.
• AI-Assisted Development: Hands-on experience building with LLM tools and APIs (OpenAI, Claude/Anthropic, Cursor, Replit AI, or similar), and the judgment to evaluate, refactor, and productionize AI-generated code into a clean, maintainable stack.

What You Get

• USD compensation that values your expertise.
• Work from anywhere: fully remote to suit your lifestyle.
• 31 days of paid time off: 21 days of annual leave + 10 days of sick leave, because your health and work-life balance matter.
• Growth-focused environment: access to learning resources and clear pathways for growth.
• Fun team events: virtual cooking classes, yoga sessions, team quizzes and more
• A culture of trust: we cut the red tape — results over rules always. Open talk, ownership, and getting things done together.

Hiring Flow

• Screening Interview (45 minutes): initial conversation with a recruiter.
• Technical Interview (up to 150 minutes): a deep dive into your functional expertise, problem-solving approach, and practical skills relevant to the role.
• Final Interview with Elevate Team (Up to 60 minutes): meet with the Team Lead for an in-depth discussion of your experience and skills.
• Offer: if successful, you’ll receive an offer to join our team.
