About the role

Job Description: We are seeking a talented Software Development Engineer with a passion for building robust backend systems. This role focuses on designing and developing scalable software solutions, primarily using Java. We're looking for someone who excels at writing production-ready code to help drive our technology forward.

Responsibilities: Design and develop high-quality backend software systems, primarily using Java. Build and maintain scalable, efficient, and reliable applications from the ground up. Collaborate with product teams to implement new features and functionalities. Write and optimize SQL queries for data management and retrieval. Leverage infrastructure as code (IaC) to support deployment of software solutions. Debug and enhance existing codebases with a focus on development. Participate in code reviews to ensure maintainability and performance.

Required Skills and Qualifications: Proven experience as a Software Development Engineer, with a strong emphasis on backend development. Deep expertise in Java for building software systems. Strong understanding of software architecture and backend system design. Hands-on experience with SQL and relational databases. Familiarity with cloud environments and infrastructure as code (IaC) to support development efforts. Ability to solve complex problems through code development. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience (CS degree preferred but not mandatory).

Preferred Qualifications: Previous experience at a tech-driven company (e.g., Amazon or similar) as a developer. Proficiency in Python as a secondary skill (not required, but a plus). Track record of delivering production-grade backend systems. Comfort with full-stack problem-solving, though the focus remains on backend.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
