This is an exceptional opportunity for engineers who thrive in high-ownership environments and enjoy working across systems, architectures, and technologies. The role is best suited for engineers with strong technical fundamentals, excellent problem-solving abilities, and the ability to contribute effectively with minimal ramp-up in unfamiliar domains.

Our application portfolio is built on a consistent and opinionated architectural foundation, enabling engineers to move between systems while maintaining high standards for code quality, maintainability, and operational reliability. The selected candidates will work closely with senior engineering leadership and help coordinate delivery execution with distributed offshore development resources.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and deliver full-stack software features across backend services, APIs, databases, and frontend applications.
  • Develop and maintain Java and Spring Boot backend services supporting production business applications.
  • Build React and TypeScript user interfaces aligned to shared platform and design standards.
  • Design and implement relational database models, schema migrations, and API integrations.
  • Collaborate with senior engineers on architecture decisions, technical implementation, and delivery planning.

Abilities:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and modern full-stack development practices.
  • Strong proficiency with React and TypeScript frontend development.
  • Solid understanding of relational database design and PostgreSQL development.
  • Experience with Docker-based containerization and modern CI/CD workflows.
  • Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar systems, codebases, and architectural patterns.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to operate effectively in distributed engineering environments.
  • Experience integrating with financial systems, operational platforms, or enterprise business applications is advantageous.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience is required.
  • 4+ years of full-stack software engineering experience building scalable enterprise applications.
  • Strong proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, React, and TypeScript.
  • Experience designing and maintaining relational databases, including PostgreSQL schema development and integrations.
  • Hands-on experience with Docker, containerized applications, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Demonstrated ability to quickly learn unfamiliar systems, troubleshoot complex issues, and contribute in high-ownership environments.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills with experience working across distributed engineering teams.
  • Experience supporting enterprise business systems, financial platforms, or operational applications is a plus.

This is an exempt position.
