Our goal is to free 10,000 entrepreneurs from the burden of manual bookkeeping so they can focus on what they do best: growing their business. We are a fast-paced, fully remote company experiencing significant customer growth, and we're looking for passionate builders to join us.
The Opportunity: Shape the Core of Our Platform
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to be a driving force in the evolution of our core platform. You won't just be writing code; you'll be a key contributor to the architectural decisions and implementations that will shape the future of our product.
This isn't a maintenance role. You'll be taking ownership of new features from concept to deployment, tackling complex challenges in platform scalability and ensuring speed and excellence in our growing list of third-party integrations.
Tasks
- Architect & Build: Design, develop, and deploy robust, scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot 3 on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- Own Features: Take full ownership of the entire development lifecycle for new platform features—from technical design and requirement clarification with product and support teams to testing and deployment.
- Solve Complex Problems: Dive deep into business logic, tackle challenging API integrations (e.g., Shopify, Stripe), and build solutions that provide real value to our customers in the accounting and e-commerce domains.
- Ensure Reliability: Proactively monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize production environments to ensure our platform is performant and reliable.
- Collaborate & Mentor: Participate in code reviews, share your knowledge with the team, and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional experience in backend development, with a strong command of Java and the Spring Boot framework. Experience in AI Coding Tools & willingness to further drive AI Adoption in our Development process.
- A Structured Mindset: You excel at breaking down complex problems, clarifying requirements with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and designing clean, well-architected solutions.
- API Expertise: Deep experience designing and consuming RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, including complex third-party integrations.
- Cloud Proficiency: Hands-on experience building and deploying applications on cloud platforms, preferably GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Run, PubSub, etc.).
- Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent debugging, troubleshooting, and analytical skills. You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and finding the root cause of an issue.
- Strong Collaboration Skills: You communicate clearly and work effectively within a team-oriented environment. You have experience with Git, continuous deployment pipelines (like Gitlab), and agile practices like monthly scope planning and regular code reviews.
Benefits
- Flexibility: Remote-first and family-friendly working hours – you decide when you work. No office presence required.
- Development: Coaching budget, mentoring, and a diverse team.
- Vacation: 30 days off to recharge.
- Compensation: An attractive salary package awaits you.
- Growth Curve: Take on responsibility and grow with us.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Experience with relational databases (like MySQL) and/or NoSQL solutions.
- Familiarity with event-driven architecture and message queues (e.g., GCP Pub/Sub, Kafka).
- Previous experience working in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
- Domain knowledge in the accounting or e-commerce industries.
