Job Purpose: 

We are looking for a Senior Java or Kotlin Developer who specializes in building new systems from scratch. If you are passionate about solving complex problems through thoughtful system design and clean architecture, this role offers a blank slate to build highly scalable solutions. You will not only lead critical architectural decisions but also guide fellow engineers, raising the bar for technical excellence across the team.

If you're excited about solving real problems through thoughtful system design and making foundational technical decisions, we want to talk to you.

What you’ll do:

• Design and develop greenfield systems in Java or Kotlin using springboot, owning the full lifecycle from day one
• Drive design decisions: selecting the right tools, frameworks, and design patterns to meet evolving requirements
• Build scalable, maintainable, and high-performance codebases using modern best practices
• Collaborate with product, QA, and DevOps teams to translate business needs into robust technical solutions
• Lead and participate in rigorous code reviews and deep-dive sessions.
• Mentor junior engineers, fostering their growth and establishing strong engineering standards

Who you are:

• 8+ years of professional development experience using Java (8+) and/or Kotlin.
• 5+ years of deep, hands-on experience building applications with Spring Boot and the broader Spring framework ecosystem.
• Proven expertise in designing and developing RESTful APIs and message-driven systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Proficiency with either Relational databases or Document based databases.
• Exceptional problem-solving abilities, paired with strong communication and collaboration skills

 

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with a major cloud provider (AWS/Azure/GCP). Professional certifications are a strong plus.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
• Prior experience in a tech lead or mentorship role, with a track record of guiding development teams.
• Familiarity with application performance tuning, security compliance standards, and modern monitoring and logging practices.

What you’ll get:

• Competitive Equity Package: Earn more than just a competitive salary. Receive equity shares to gain wealth as the company grows.
• Gym & Wellness Reimbursement: Training for a big race? Don’t sweat it. We offer gym reimbursement for all employees.
• Generous Vacation Policy: We think time off is essential… and we encourage it!
• Duvet Day: Perfect for those cold winter days, when you don’t want to escape the warmth of your bed!
• Mental Health Day: You deserve a day off! A chance to recharge and enjoy ‘Me Time’
• 4 weeks of ‘Work from Anywhere’: Whether you’re working from the beautiful beaches in the Bahamas or by the fireplace on your ski trip in Switzerland - just make sure to send us a picture!
• Professional Development: We’re here to help you hit your career goals to help get you where you want to be.
• Unlimited Coffee, Drinks & Healthy Snacks: Because we love spoiling our team!
• Flexible Working: We offer you an autonomous environment to perform at your highest level!
