The Role

Our stack is modern, our product is high-impact, and we’re looking for Senior Java Software Engineer who writes clean code, designs for scale, and loves solving algorithmically complex problems at the intersection of security and AI.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that will report directly to the VP, Engineering and partner cross-functionally with Product, DevOps, Quality Assurance, and Customer Success. Your mandate: think big and raise the software engineering bar across the technical stack.

• Architect asynchronous workflows using RabbitMQ with dead-letter queues, retry policies, back-pressure handling, and graceful degradation.
• Build resilient services with high availability and 99.9%+ uptime targets, leveraging Kubernetes, circuit breakers, and service mesh patterns (e.g., Istio).
• Drive root-cause analysis and continuous improvement from production incidents and customer-reported bugs.
• Mentor junior teammates and perform code reviews for exceptional quality and alignment with non-functional metrics and targets.
• Foster a culture of accountability and excellence in software architecture.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional Java development experience (preferably Java 17+)
• Deep knowledge of Spring Boot, reactive programming, and microservices

• Exceptional leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Data-driven mindset with a passion for continuous improvement and operational excellence.
• Desire and preference to work collaboratively in a team environment.
