You will contribute to code reviews and technical documentation while ensuring your code is clean, maintainable, and optimised for performance. By staying abreast of industry trends and participating in system design discussions, you will help shape the future of backend development within this forward-thinking organisation. Your expertise in Java Spring Boot frameworks will be instrumental in building reliable RESTful APIs that underpin the company’s core products. Additionally, you will have opportunities to integrate advanced search capabilities using ElasticSearch and support continuous improvement initiatives through knowledge sharing with your international peers.

  • Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable backend applications and RESTful APIs using Java and Spring Boot frameworks to ensure robust system performance.

  • Assist in maintaining version control systems such as Git to ensure smooth workflow management within the engineering team.

What you bring:

Your proven track record as a Senior Backend Software Engineer demonstrates your ability to build robust applications using Java Spring Boot frameworks. You bring deep knowledge of RESTful API design principles along with hands-on experience managing relational databases like PostgreSQL. Your familiarity with ElasticSearch enables you to contribute effectively to search-driven features while your proficiency in version control ensures smooth collaboration within distributed teams. You thrive in environments where learning is encouraged—embracing new tools such as cloud platforms or containerisation technologies when needed. Your interpersonal skills allow you to communicate clearly across departments while your commitment to continuous improvement drives both personal growth and collective success. Whether contributing technical documentation or participating in system design discussions, you consistently demonstrate dependability and knowledgeability—qualities highly valued by this organisation.

  • Proven experience working with Java Spring or Spring Boot frameworks for backend application development in a commercial setting.
  • Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and web services architecture with practical implementation experience.
  • Hands-on experience with SQL or relational databases such as PostgreSQL for data modelling and query optimisation.
  • Exposure to ElasticSearch for building search or analytics functionality within enterprise applications.
  • Familiarity with version control systems like Git for effective source code management within collaborative teams.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities coupled with strong debugging skills for resolving complex technical issues efficiently.
