Job Description

At Evooq, we are building an ecosystem of solutions that combine data, technology, and investment expertise. Finance professionals use our platform to quickly identify investment opportunities, make informed decisions, and manage risk across the entire investment lifecycle. We operate through highly autonomous teams built on a culture of trust and responsibility.

We’re hiring a Senior Product Engineer (Backend) to co-own our Wealth Management platform for Independent Asset Managers (IAMs).

This is mostly a backend role, with high ownership and high impact, working in a lean team solving for our clients who are professional wealth managers that use the platform daily. While the focus is backend, you'll occasionally need to navigate the React frontend to debug your own work — reading network requests, tracing API responses… Comfort with the browser's network tab will help you own issues end-to-end, from the database to what the client sees on screen.

No prior front-end experience needed — basic familiarity is a plus, but not a requirement.

What you’ll work on

• Backend & authentication flows (Keycloak, Java/Kotlin services)
• Envoy routing and JWT-based security
• CI/CD pipelines and release preparation
• Cloud Services (AWS)
• API integration layer
• Occasional frontend tasks in React (data, API wiring) — no prior front-end experience required

You own features from problem to production

SRE handles prod deploys and infrastructure, but you stay accountable for outcomes.

What “ownership” means here

• You don’t wait for perfect specs
• You feel confident troubleshooting - refactoring
• When prod breaks, you help debug and fix it
• You actively reduce complexity and tech debt

Tech stack

Java 17 · Spring Boot · Databases (Postgres 14+) · Reactive Programming · Keycloak · Envoy · Docker · GitHub Actions · AWS · Nomad · Typescript · React

Qualifications

What we’re looking for

• Senior engineer comfortable owning backend in production, able to work independently with limited input
• Pragmatic, curious, responsible - you go where the problem is, dig deep and own it, you don’t just clear tickets
• Highly creative problem solver - you constantly ask “why” and work around constraints to deliver outside-the-box solutions
• Adaptable to changing conditions
• Team player, able to collaborate effectively with product and design teams

You may be a good fit if

• You have built products from 0-1
• You have worked in dynamic start-up environments where you just need to roll up your sleeves and get things done
• You have a deep passion for solving real user problems, not just building software
