As a Java Back-End Developer you will focus on building robust, secure, and highly available server-side systems and APIs that power products, working closely with front-end engineers and architects to ensure performance benchmarks are consistently met.

What We Expect From You:

  • Design and implement microservices and distributed systems using Java and the Spring ecosystem, following established architectural patterns.
  • Develop secure, high-performance RESTful APIs that are consumed reliably by both web and mobile client applications.
  • Model, optimise, and manage relational and NoSQL databases to support scalable, data-intensive workloads.
  • Implement authentication and authorisation mechanisms using OAuth2, JWT, and Spring Security best practices.
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks through profiling, load testing, and targeted refactoring of critical code paths.
  • Integrate third-party services, payment gateways, and external APIs in a maintainable and testable way.
  • Write comprehensive unit and integration tests to maintain high coverage and prevent regressions across services.
    • 3+ years of professional Java back-end development with deep knowledge of the JVM and core Java libraries.
    • Strong hands-on experience with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and ORM frameworks such as Hibernate or JPA.
    • Solid understanding of microservices architecture, including service discovery, load balancing, and inter-service communication.
    • Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and caching solutions like Redis.
    • Practical knowledge of message brokers such as Kafka or RabbitMQ for building event-driven services.
    • Comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes, and setting up or maintaining CI/CD pipelines in cloud environments.
    • Proficiency in English.
