Sr Software Engineer

Sr Software Engineer

We're looking for a Senior Java Engineer who loves solving real user problems through clean, scalable systems. You'll be a hands-on builder in a small, empowered product team — designing APIs, optimizing performance, and helping shape product decisions through strong engineering judgment.

This role blends deep backend expertise with a product mindset — you won't just write services, you'll help define what those services should do and how they deliver measurable impact.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable services and APIs using Java (Spring Boot) and AWS Lambda.
• Collaborate across teams: Partner with frontend engineers, QA, product, and design to deliver end-to-end features.
• Drive backend architecture: Shape how services are structured, secured, and observed.
• Apply product thinking: Understand user needs and business context when making design or trade-off decisions.
• Champion reliability and speed: Implement monitoring, alerting, and automated testing to ensure resilient releases.
• Integrate feature flag workflows: Work with GrowthBook, LaunchDarkly, or similar systems for progressive delivery.
• Mentor junior developers: Review code, share knowledge, and help raise the bar for backend excellence.

What You Bring

• 7–10 years of experience building backend systems and APIs in Java (Spring Boot or similar frameworks).
• Strong English communication skills — written and spoken.
• Proven experience building and deploying AWS Lambda and serverless architectures.
• Solid understanding of REST and GraphQL APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Familiarity with feature flags, CI/CD, and progressive delivery practices.
• Experience working with RDBMS (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and caching systems (Redis, DynamoDB).
• Strong focus on performance optimization, security, and observability (logs, metrics, traces).
• Proven ability to collaborate in cross-functional, product-driven teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or CircleCI pipelines.
• Exposure to Cloudflare Workers, AWS Step Functions, or API Gateway.
• Familiarity with TypeScript or Node.js for full-stack collaboration.
• Knowledge of message queues (SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Experience instrumenting metrics with Datadog, Grafana, or New Relic.
• Prior experience mentoring or leading small engineering initiatives.

How We Work

We organize around empowered product teams — engineers, designers, and PMs working together to deliver measurable outcomes, not just features. You'll have ownership of your services, the freedom to innovate, and the accountability to deliver high-quality systems that matter to users.
