Staff Backend Engineer (Java)

Remote within the United States

About Us:

TrackVia offers the most-trusted app building platform for anyone looking for a better way to work. TrackVia gives businesspeople and IT experts the ability to easily build and integrate apps to track, manage, and automate processes in days, not weeks. Our customers make lasting and substantial improvements to their business using TrackVia’s bullet-proof cloud-based technology — and they love getting the industry’s best customer experience every step of the way.

At TrackVia, we don’t just build software, we empower organizations around the world to radically streamline operations and digitize frontline workflows with zero code required. Our low-code/no-code platform powers everything from post-loan processing in finance, to sterile field audits in hospitals, to safety inspections on construction sites– all instantly deployable to web and native mobile with no additional engineering effort. And it’s your backend engineering that brings these real-time, powerful experiences to life.

We're looking for a Staff Backend Engineer with expertise in Java who’s passionate about architecting and optimizing scalable systems in a cutting-edge field. You’ll join a tight-knit, deeply collaborative team that’s powering enterprise mobility, high-volume data flows, and dynamic business logic across industries.

What Makes Our Platform Unique

  • It’s fully dynamic and multi-tenant: our backend drives the dynamic rendering engines across Android, iOS, and Web by delivering real-time configurations, business logic, and workflows from a central source.
  • It’s mission-critical: powering large-scale operations in healthcare, finance, construction, and beyond—requiring bulletproof reliability, security, and scale.
  • It’s cloud-native and scalable: designed for AWS with containerization and orchestration, ensuring resilience and performance across demanding environments.
  • No two applications are the same: through cutting-edge dynamic systems, our customers can create, refine and deploy applications as quickly as their business needs change.

You won’t just be building REST APIs– you’ll be designing scalable systems, safeguarding sensitive data, and solving tough distributed systems problems that keep global operations running seamlessly.

What You’ll Do

Build and Elevate Our Core Platform

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Java (Java 11+), Spring Boot, and Hibernate.
  • Architect RESTful APIs and microservices that deliver dynamic experiences to our mobile and web platforms.
  • Optimize relational database designs, indexes, and query performance to handle large multi-tenant data loads.

Drive Quality, Security, and Scalability

  • Contribute to strategic architectural decisions, focusing on scalability, security, and maintainability.
  • Implement secure coding practices, identify and remediate vulnerabilities, and tune JVM performance.
  • Improve deployment pipelines with GitLab CI/CD and robust automated testing.

Collaborate and Lead

  • Troubleshoot complex production issues, perform root cause analysis, and deliver lasting solutions.
  • Partner with frontend, mobile, and infrastructure teams to ensure cohesive end-to-end experiences.
  • Be open to taking on generalist responsibilities—whether it’s infrastructure, frontend troubleshooting, or mentoring peers.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in backend software development with a focus on Java.
  • Expertise in enterprise Java (Java 11+), including frameworks like Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and Hibernate.
  • Strong knowledge of object-oriented programming, design patterns, concurrency, and memory management with understanding of OOP, SOLID, DRY principles.
  • Hands-on experience with RESTful API development and microservices architectures.
  • Proficiency in relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) with experience in schema design and performance tuning.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred, or Azure/GCP) and containerization technologies.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevOps best practices.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify, manage, and reduce complexity within a codebase
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to lead projects and collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams.
  • Demonstrated experience and willingness to problem-solve outside of your specialty.
  • Ability to leverage AI / LLMs for learning, implementation and efficiency gains.
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with AWS AuroraDB and multi-tenant SaaS architectures.
  • Familiarity with dynamic query generation mechanisms for advanced data retrieval.
  • Proficiency with GitLab CI/CD and security best practices.
  • Prior experience leading teams or mentoring engineers.
  • Experience developing with additional languages such as Node.js, Python and Bash

  • Be a Force Multiplier: What you build allows non-technical users to create apps that solve serious business problems.
  • Fast-Paced, Product-Obsessed Culture: You’ll ship high-impact work quickly and iteratively.

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
