Full job description
We’re looking for a highly skilled Senior Java Backend Developer to join our engineering team and help build scalable, secure, and cloud-native backend systems. This is a fully remote role, operating on Eastern Standard Time, for 6 months, with the opportunity for extension.

This role is ideal for developers with strong Java and Spring expertise, production AWS experience, and a modern understanding of testing, containers, and infrastructure automation.

You’ll work closely with DevOps, frontend, and product teams to build distributed systems with high reliability and performance. AWS certifications are not required — we prioritize real-world experience over credentials.

What You’ll Be Working On:
Designing and developing high-performance backend services and APIs using Java 17–21 (Amazon Corretto OpenJDK) and Spring Boot 2.7.18
Building and optimizing microservices within a distributed, cloud-native architecture
Leveraging AWS managed services (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, DynamoDB) to build scalable infrastructure
Containerizing services using Docker, deploying with Kubernetes or ECS
Automating infrastructure with Terraform or CloudFormation
Managing relational data in PostgreSQL 17 and handling migrations with Flyway
Writing robust unit tests using JUnit, HTMLUnit, Hamcrest, and Mockito
Collaborating using tools like IntelliJ, Maven, Git, Postman, DBeaver, and Jira
Participating in code reviews, architectural discussions, and team mentorship
Requirements:
5+ years of Java development experience (preferably Java 17+)
Strong expertise in Spring Framework 5.3 and Spring Boot 2.7
Hands-on experience with cloud-native development on AWS
Solid understanding of microservices, Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes or ECS
Proficient in PostgreSQL and Flyway or other DB migration tools
Comfortable with modern testing tools (JUnit, Mockito, etc.)
Familiarity with AWS networking/security (IAM, VPC, subnets) is a strong plus
Experience with Terraform or CloudFormation is a plus
Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field

Nice to Have:
Experience in enterprise or regulated environments
Familiarity with monitoring (CloudWatch, Prometheus)
Exposure to event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS/SNS)
