Java Software Engineer

About this role:

We are seeking a passionate and driven Java Backend Developer to join our engineering team. This role is open to fresh graduates and early-career engineers with a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals. You will work on real, high-traffic backend systems serving millions of users — building microservices, APIs, and distributed workflows using a modern Java stack. You’ll work on distributed systems, cloud-native services, and real-time applications using a robust technology stack that includes MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS), and more.

Here’s what will be expected out of you every day:

• Design and develop backend systems using Java 17, leveraging modern frameworks like Spring, Spring Boot, Vert.x, and Dropwizard.

• Build and maintain microservices with high availability, performance, and scalability.

• Model relational data and optimize database interactions using MySQL.

• Implement caching mechanisms using Redis.

• Develop search and indexing features using Elasticsearch.

• Build and expose secure, well-documented RESTful APIs.

• Create serverless workflows with AWS Lambda and expose endpoints using API Gateway.

• Integrate asynchronous messaging using AWS SQS, SNS, and ActiveMQ.

• Use GitHub for source control, code reviews, and CI/CD processes.

• Apply a solid understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms to build efficient, maintainable code.

What we want:

• Strong grasp of Data Structures and Algorithms — arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, heaps, and hash maps. You should be able to reason about the right data structure for a given problem.

• Comfort with time and space complexity analysis — Big-O is second nature to you; you think about trade-offs before writing code, not after.

• Proficiency in Java — the Collections framework, OOP principles, and basic concurrency. Java 17 familiarity is a plus.

• Solid object-oriented design — SOLID principles and an intuition for writing clean, maintainable, and testable code.

• Curiosity and a learning mindset — you pick up new tools and frameworks quickly and are not intimidated by an unfamiliar codebase.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

• Proficient in version control and collaboration using GitHub.
