Mid-Level Software Engineer (Java / Full-Stack)
Working hours: Full overlap with MT
About the role
We’re building a new engineering team and are looking for 3 mid-level engineers to join a fast-moving environment focused on modern backend systems and scalable architectures.
This role is primarily backend-focused, with opportunities to contribute across the stack. We’re looking for engineers who are comfortable working in a Java/Spring Boot ecosystem, with a solid understanding of software design principles and exposure to modern tooling and infrastructure.
What you’ll be doing
Build and maintain backend services using Java and Spring Boot
Design and implement scalable systems following object-oriented design principles
Contribute to event-driven architectures and distributed systems
Work with Kafka-based systems and asynchronous data flows
Collaborate across teams to deliver end-to-end features
Contribute to frontend components where needed (React/Next.js)
Use modern engineering tools, including AI-assisted development (e.g. Cursor, Claude)
Must-have requirements
Strong experience with Java and Spring Boot
Solid understanding of object-oriented design and clean code principles
Working knowledge of JavaScript
Experience building and maintaining production-grade backend systems
Good communication skills and ability to work in a remote team
Nice to have
Experience with React and/or Next.js
Hands-on exposure to Kafka or event-driven systems
Experience with Kubernetes (K8s) and containerized environments
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab, Harness, etc.)
Exposure to AI tools in development workflows (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, etc.)
What we’re looking for
Engineers who are backend-leaning, with at least one hire more focused on frontend
Practical, hands-on builders — not just theoretical knowledge
Comfortable working in modern, fast-paced environments
Curious and adaptable, with interest in new tools and approaches
Nice to know
This is a new team, so you’ll have the chance to shape how things are built from the ground up
You’ll be working in a modern stack environment with a strong focus on scalability and performance
If you’re someone who enjoys building real systems, working with modern tools, and contributing across the stack — we’d love to hear from you.
